If the winds are calm and the sun is shining, I'll ride if the temperature is above 20f. If it's dry but overcast, I'll avoid riding below 25f. If it's windy, I'll ride if it's above 30f.
I rode during an October rain event last week, it was about 55 to 60f. I was soaked, but kept comfortable somehow. Can't imagine knowingly going out to ride in the rain if it was any colder.
