Very easily for me.

I've found that the older I get, and the thinner I get, that I'm increasingly intolerant of cold (literally, 70* and breezy feels cold), and have a very high tolerance for heat. I went out and did about 14 miles without thinking much about it one day when it hit 102 here last summer. It was warm, but not in the least uncomfortable. 80's and 90's to me is PERFECT riding weather!!

Mid-50's is tolerably rideable IMO, depending on other conditions. 55 windy and overcast is miserable. 55 calm and sunny ain't too bad. I went riding once earlier this spring when it was 45, and don't really want to do that again.
