I ride year round. The cold has never stopped me, although it becomes less fun below say 20F. The only thing that stops my rides in the winter is unsafe road conditions like ice. Sadly, we often have a situation here after a snowfall where there is frozen runoff and that’s no bueno. I would estimate my monthly winter mileage (Nov-March) is about half the typical summer efforts.

I think more cyclists use Strava on a phone while riding than runners while running, which makes this extra funny because your recording device (almost certainly a Garmin) will give you that data anyway.

Here in New Hampshire they use a cocktail of calcium chloride, magnesium chlorde, and rock salt in varying percentages depending on the temperature. Car eating stuff, any exposed metal will corroded almost immediately, and coated metal will succumb eventually.

Probably.
The sun doesn't even rise until 7 a.m. now, even later in the winter, so it must be tough switching to not riding in the dark.

I put the bike on the stand tonight (properly this time Rj)
Time for my weekly clean and lube. While doing that I also wanted to narrow down the squeaking I have been hearing.
Well, It seems to be coming from everything drive chain related. I don’t think it’s the pedals, But I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me. I sprayed some tri flow on the pulleys, and relubed the chain. It seemed to help but I don’t really know what else to do. Cassette was tight, and if the wheel spins freely there isn’t any squeak.

I've heard stories from car mechanics who have moved from salt states and have worked on corroded cars a bit myself. They say you can't have a shop without a cutting torch and you have to make a lot of brake and fuel lines.
