If you like mountain biking you have several places that are fantastic near by.
And while it does get cold, it is not that common and if you have the gear, you can ride all year long.

I NEVER thought I'd see Hockessin...buuuut...he's not wrong. I live next to Hockessin and regularly do 50miles/4000ft rides on many different routes. I generally ride from Mar-Nov pretty easily and the season ends more so b/c it's dark than b/c of snow/cold.
More north...I don't think it's been mentioned, but I've done some riding up near the Tappan Zee Bridge (Nyack, NY) that was very scenic and seemed pretty rural for being a stone's throw from NYC.
