It looks like we're going to have to plan for dealing with a 20 degree increase in temperature during our ride and a fair amount of wind: the forecast calls for early morning temps around 39 and afternoon temps approaching 60, winds to 14mph. Full sun all day long.
Regina, I guess you need to deal with a pre-dawn departure, too.

Just need a place to put our layers after we strip them off. Not everyone has panniers like you Originally Posted by Regina

I'm bringing my Camelbak mtb pack so I can store my layers as they get peeled off. Dunno if I could fit other people's layers as well, though. Would Regina or Janice have room in their panniers/bike bags?
I've got no place for a cue sheet, though, so I'll be following you ladies."How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

I'll have a CamelBak, too, as well as a rack "trunk", so I may have extra room for some stuff.
I know how to layer the torso; what do you do about legs?I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

I'll have my green "carpet bag." So I'll have plenty of room for carrying stuff. Last time, it was almost TOO big.
For legs...I intend to wear tights over knickers. If/when it warms up to something closer to cool, I'll shuck the tights and stick with the knickers.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

I'm gonna start out with tights over a chamois/knee warmer combo. With any luck, it'll end up warm enough to shuck even the knee warmers (though I'm not counting on it).
