Cold weather touring

I want to take a trip from FL to WY. My initial plan was to leave late March and arrive late May. I've been in WY in late May and it's certainly cold but I could tolerate it. However, plans have changed and I may need to get there as early as 23rd of April. I was already pushing it but I wanted to ask if any of you have toured in such conditions. Is it even a wise choice to camp outside in potentially 25F weather? What if I stayed in motels in the cold leg of the journey? Is riding in cold weather a potential deal breaker? Were you able to layer clothes and stay warm?

The average in Cheyenne is ~25F to 50 in April. I really don't want to give up this plan but at the same time I don't want to die just yet but maybe I'm just being a pansy Flordian.
