So planning what to wear for the bike portion has been quite overwhelming. I intend on wearing a base layer ss shirt, a ss jersey, arm and knee warmers and possibly the sleeveless wind breaker vest. If it is suppose to be a high of 66 and you say 65 is about the break point to wear knee warmers - do you think I can finish the ride portion with them on so that I don't have to stop and pull them off? I'm from Florida so haven't had any of my training in cold weather so don't have any experience yanking clothes off while riding. I'm pretty certain I could pull my arm warmers or the vest off while riding, but it may be smarter to simply stop for 30 secs and pull stuff off and stuff them in my jersey pockets. What is your suggestion on what to wear for these type temps and also do you suggest stopping to pull gear like the arm warmers or the vest off?

I rode my bicycle to work early yesterday at 30 degrees. I followed your clothing advice from your '2009 seminar, on all layers. And that skull cap is WONDERFUL when the temperature is under 40 degrees! Pat Hey Bob,
