I am a bit perplexed about how to dress for a long ride Saturday. My body isn't accustomed to riding in cool temperatures yet, and the ride will start in the high 40's, with temps topping out in the mid-60's. That might not sound all that cool to some, but I chill quite easily on the bike. I've noticed that I break out my AMFIB tights earlier than most.

Since the temps will likely be in the 40's when we start, I will probably have toe covers on my shoes. Thinking about wearing my Mid-Zero tights over my shorts so I can shed them if I need to do so. I am tempted to just leave them on and wear my liners underneath them rather than a full pair of shorts. I do like to keep my knees covered/warm until the low 60's, and I think my ride will be over before we reach the high temps for the day. There is a lot of rain forecast for Friday, so conditions will likely be damp Saturday which will make things feel cooler.

As far as upper body is concerned, I think the ear warmers will be sufficient, my smartwool base layer and a SS jersey. I've two jackets, and will wear my thermal jacket to start out with, but will have my light windbreaker in my Tailrider with my snacks if I need to change. I do have a wonderful long-sleeve full zip Smartwool jersey, but that would be much too warm.

Unsure what to do about gloves, I think it will be too cool for my full-finger mtb gloves. My Gore windbreaker gloves will likely be warm enough on their own. I don't think I want liners for the first few hours...

Do I have everything covered? Just trying to think this out in advance so I will be able to focus on having fun and NOT on being cold...
