So, I ride no matter what the heat is. If it gets below 60, I drive, as I do not have any cold weather gear, but next winter that will be different. Thunderstorms will also keep me from riding, but simple rain will not.
The difference between a Houston and KS native. Below 60, we might wear a windbreaker.
