    What to wear--start cold, end warm

    This Saturday I am going to attempt my first metric century on a ride with about 1200 cyclists in northern Minnesota (the Tour of Lakes). The ride starts between 6 and 8 am. I should start early because I am slow. My guess is that it will be about 45 degrees at the start and maybe get to around 75 as a high, probably in the afternoon. The current forecast is for partly cloudy but who knows.

    What to wear? It is such a PITA to carry things. Will my Terry tights end up being too warm? I do have knee warmers that I can take instead. I suppose I will end up with lots of stuff crammed in my jersey pockets.

    Suggestions?
