I was out late in the afternoon for a 1 hour, 2 hill Topanga loop wearing long sleeve cotton T, poly sport T, high zip windbreaker, long warmup pants and full finger bike gloves. Nippy at first (about 50F at the start, colder as the sun set), this ride begins at 42/21, so it didn't take long to warm up. In no time I was sweating (unzip), and even the 2 long and fast descents (zip) didn't effect much more than my nose. The clothing was just right for the ride.
Sisko, I have no meaningful stats. I don't even know my ride time.

I can say it was colder than 50°. In 50° starts, I don’t usually even use a vest if it is going to end up being warmer.

Glad you had a good ride.
