I'm in the same boat. I adopted this principle from my running, but it is a bit trickier with cycling since you often generate your own windchill depending on what direction the wind is blowing. But regardless of how I feel at the beginning of the ride I'm always sweaty by the end, more so when I am wearing a backpack, which is most of the time.
