I ride every day these days regardless of the weather, but I ride singletrack trails for my daily rides. When I have been on tour I have ridden in open country in some crazy winds and never took a day off. Sometimes it was tough going, but all part of the game. I may have chosen the time of day to avoid the worst of the wind at times especially in places like Kansas or Wyoming.
Back in my commuting days I'd ride regardless of the wind. Ice or snow might stop, me though.
Other times in my life I may have been more or less motivated and that would affect my decisions.
