It's so cold here, my teeth hurt. And I live in the Southeast!
No way am I riding outside. My cutoff temp is 45. Below that, I'm parking the bike. I have become a weather wuss since moving to the southeast.
Now, does spinning or trainers count? To keep the legs moving, I spin 3-4 times a week and average about 20 miles per session. I know, I know, not road miles but I am still turning the pedals which should count for something. At least for me they count as I really have no other option with the current weather situation.

Goal — 100
1/7 — 7.8 — Back on the bike after a gluttonous holiday and weeklong vacation. Used the homemade studded tires I made last year to ride on our completely frozen-over lake. The fishermen thought I was nuts, but I didn't fall down and I didn't break through the ice.
1/20 — 20.8 — Two laps around the lake on an old Trek 830 mountain bike.
1/27 — 16.2 — Gravel single speed ride, definitely miss the shifting in certain places, but really fun overall!
1/28 — 10.0 — Did a bit more distant gravel ride on the SS. Definitely lots of mud in the mix, and a pinch flat cut the ride short.
MTD — 54.8
