+1. So many people in my local club dress to be comfortable in the parking lot before a ride. 10-15 minutes into the ride they are too warm, especially if we have hit hills. It also tends to warm as the morning progresses. People end up needing to shed layers and sometimes don't have enough jersey pocket capacity.


I do self contained tours in areas and at times when it can be in the 40s or 50s when I start out but quickly warm as the sun gets a little higher. I have learned to tolerate starting out feeling a bit chilly so I don't have to stop by the side of the road to shed layers soon after I start riding. But even when I do have to do that I have the carrying capacity.
