The secret to making winter riding fun for me was to throw out all expectations of performance. I don't even put the computer on the bike (screen goes blank around 0F anyway) and my HR monitor goes under the cuffs and inside the Bar Mitts. I just ride hard enough to feel myself breathing heavily and enjoy the scenery until my toes get cold. On my mutt bike in full winter dress I average about 12 mph for an hour or two on snowy roads. Still a whole lot more fun than the indoor trainer. I log my rides with Ride with GPS but the phone stays in an inside pocket and I don't look at it until I get home.
