I was thinking my temperature width would be pretty narrow. I'll ride in hot weather and did 85 miles in a 106 degree heat index (I forgot what the actual temperature was). And while I don't mind running in the cold and have ran in temperatures in the high teens, I was thinking I don't enjoy riding in anything below the mid 50s.

I like to bring an old bike purchase home air up the tires and take it for a spin before doing anything with it just to say I did. Then I remembered I bought an old bike a couple of years ago and we were in the middle of a cold snap that didn't get above freezing for about 10 days. That spin on that bike through the neighborhood at a leisurely pace wasn't terrible. I may rethink how I feel about cold weather riding and just buy the appropriate gear.
