    Another "delicate blossom" here, ha ha ha, I'm trying to to laugh at the thought of describing myself like that. Anyway, cold and sunny, no question about it.

    I really don't like any of those choices, but I chose mild and misty. 55 degrees is probably my favorite temperature; I like the 55-70 range. However, I don't like riding in rain or mistiness and I would not deliberately start a ride if it was raining. I ride in temperatures down to about 37, but it has to be sunny if it's that cold. I don't like extreme heat, either. It feels too hot to me when it gets above 82 or so. Now I have ridden up to about 98, but it really bothers me.

    I didn't choose either....warm or even hot, beats out cold or wet damp weather for me. 70 degrees or above with sunshine and I am a happy rider

    I could handle misty and mild, but I can handle hot, Hot and Hotter (I think I've ridden in temps as high as 100)

    Sure there's limit where it's just too hot to be safe.

    I really just don't enjoy riding in temps below 30 to 35 degrees.
