I usually run 3 miles every day in the winter. I think I tore my meniscus last May, though, so I am doing brisk, one-hour walks with an ace bandage on that knee. I'm going to start getting back in on the dumbells.
The reason I don't ride in the winter is because I don't enjoy it, and I ride for enjoyment (soaking in the ambience of summer), not primarily for training or fitness. (In response to winter up-north, I was actually looking at homes in Elizabeth City, N.C. today).
It sounds like you have a good system down. (As long as we lay off the Yo-Ho's, we should be fine come May or June).
