Shorts
Thermal Tights over shorts
Arm Warmers
Sports Bra
Compression Base Top
Jersey
Wool Socks
Toe Warmers

Yup I am a wimp when it dips below 60!

I also learned it is possible to stay upright and make it up a steep hill at 3.6 mph!
Aggie, you are not such a weather wimp! At 35F today, I wore TWO of everything one thing you mention above! But I was warm!
And as to 3.6mph hills...I often note that I am climbing steep hills at about 2.5 mph. My overall average is only about 10 mph because of all the hills around here. But give me a long steep downhill and I can go 36mph! Unfortunately it only takes one minute to go down that long hill at 35mph, but maybe 10 minutes at 5mph to get back up it...hence my low "average" speed!
