Rain and kinda cold -- what would you wear??

Good idea about the blankets. I think I have one, I'll go look for it.

I seem to have more trouble with cold as I get older. I've done long rides in these conditions in shorts or regular capris and a long sleeved jersey with a rain jacket and have been mostly okay. But these days, my feet are like ice more often than not. I love my wool Kneekers, but if I wore them with shorts my upper legs (above the Kneekers) would be cold. Another thing I think I need to consider is that the wool capris have a chamois, and I have no idea how comfortable it is for a long ride.

I just discovered that I have a Gore-Tex helmet cover. I got it years ago, never used it, forgot I had it, found it in the bottom of the "bad weather gear" drawer. Maybe I'll start off with that and have the wool cap in my pocket just in case.

50’s is like a winter day here where I live.
I wear a sleeveless base layer/jersey, arm and leg warmers and a light rain jacket. 40's to 50's and I go for keeping my core warm adding fleece arm warmers and a windproof vest. Lightweight rain gear if needed.
