There is a window if temps - typically highs in the low 30s to low 40s - that give me a hard time, especially when it has been wet.
Below the low 40s, I don’t care for road riding. I’m fine doing shorter rides around town, and will commute through the winter, but real road rides just feel cold.
Once we hit the low 40s, I’m sticking to mountain biking.... much easier to stay warm.
However, around here, once is gets consistently in the 30s and 40s, if there is any rain, or snow melting, the trails get really muddy, and I don’t like tearing them up.
Once it drops below freezing, the trails freeze and I start riding the Fat Bike.
And if the snow gets deep... XC skiing.
As far as heat... once it hits the upper 80s in the humid northeast, I’m staying off thebhot asphalt, but I’ll keep mountain biking in the shade of the woods. When I lived out west, the dry heat did not bother me as much.
