I vote for cold weather gear. The only cycling specific stuff you need is: 1) booties or toe covers and 2) and under helmet skull cap. Other than that you can wear non-cycling (and thus cheaper) tights over bibs; wool sweaters over jerseys; and ski gloves. You'll look like a Fred, but who cares? You're out riding in the fresh air while everyone else is stuck in a basement on a trainer.
