Hoping to go tomorrow though definitely. But then Sunday the temperature plummets again.
*shakes fist*
We had record cold temps last year during the MS150, and it wasn't as cold outside as it is right now. I was in the 30's for the early morning portion, but I was pulling off my jacket by the first rest stop and my base layer by the second rest stop. Just jersey and shorts after that.
I'd train in the wind and/or the rain if I were you, but to me there really isn't a need to push it in the cold right now if your main purpose is to train just for the ride. There are other things you can do to help increase your fitness right now other than saddle time. Based on what I've read on here about how into cycling you are, you'll be fine for the time being.
