    I'm reading that the typical daytime winter temps for Atlanta are in the mid 40's to mid 50'sF range- so we are not exactly talking Antarctica here.
    Still, an early morning ride starting out at 35 or 40F would be worth wearing some warm tights for, and a thin merino base layer. Hands and feet tend to get colder than anything else, so don't skimp on the socks and gloves.

    If you're used to warm temperatures, 35 or 40 feels cold because you're not acclimatized. I have friends from northern canada who won't break out a jacket until it's under freezing, because as far as they're concerned it's not cold...

    However....
