I've got the same situation in Chicago, that air off the lake is just above freezing in winter & spring, and I don't ride as often as I could.

I pick my days and try to ride 10-15 times per month from April to December. I'll take any two of the following three conditions: cold, wind, rain.

I can usually find 15 days a month that are downpour free, free of strong winds or warm enough.
