Hi,

I find it best to dress in layers that can be easily removed. Even
without stopping. Get a thermal vest, one that wicks - Peleton1 make
a very good one. It dries in about 10 minutes as well.
Instead of getting a long sleeved top use those arm warmers. Then if
you get hot just pull them down to your wrists. Over your top wear a
sleeveless wind breaker. Also works well to keep you warm and takes
up very little space.
Also use leg warmers rather than long legged knicks. Get good gloves
as well, and even if you don't use cleats, get riding shoes. The ones
that look line normal hiking books. Specialized have a good range.
You need a stiff sole if you don't want to kill your feet. I also use
a head scarf as my head gets very sunburnt through my helmet.
