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.

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).
