I'm a newb who living in Toronto, is starting to get ready for riding in cooler, or just plain cold temperatures.
I've heard that layering is key, but I'm wondering what clothing would "generally" be required for the following conditions (I've given my ranges in celcuis):
1) 10-20 - I'd think shorts and a long sleeve jersey
2) 5-10 - I'd think maybe wind pants, maybe a jacket, and a long sleeve J
3) 0-5 - here is where I draw a blank (I'm sure I'll work up a sweat but don't know what to wear)
4) under 10 - 0 - ?
I only have summer clothing and need to buy some stuff for cooler riding. I don't want to waste money buying a thin long sleeve jersey if I should buy a thicker one (purpose of this e-mail is to not waste money and "try" to dress appropriately 1st time and learn from that). I have a wind/water resistant jacket (not lined) and similiar pants (not-lined).
