I think I'm set now except for maybe one more jersey and one more pair of bike shorts - I'm tired of doing laundry every night!!

Thanks for all the good advice - I'm glad I asked. I think I'll save alot more money now!
"Cotton Kills"

I've also lived in GA, and you just can't wear the stuff in the humidity and exercise. Really it's not the best idea to wear it anywhere and hike or exercise because, as you've found, it doesn't wick and it holds moisture to you (the quote is actually from backpackers where cotton really can kill you by keeping you wet!).

Sounds like you are off to a good wardrobe start. Keep your eyes open for sales/deals and it will gradually expand
