As a former San Diegan, I haven't much experience with colder weather. Looking for suggestions to be prepared for the months ahead. I can't wear just cycling knickers because they roll over my tummy which isn't any fun. I might be able to wear long johns under my current bib shorts. Do you suggest that or leg warmers (which like to roll down over my knees) or are there other options?

I had a wonderful Merino (?) wool long sleeve turtleneck which is great under jerseys - but I can't find it!

So - without breaking the bank, what do you folks suggest?
I am gearing up for Fall riding also. One of those hyperwarm, heat gear compression tops or jackets will work. There are also leg and arm warmers but how cold does it get in RENO? Louis Garneau has tights available for colder weather as well. Any other suggestions will be appreciated. Particularly recommendations for gloves.
