Little Cotswold Sportive tomorrow - Santini Autumn CLassic.

Weather looking lovely for a change and cannot decide if it is Long Bib Tights, or warmers with normal bibs; not enough experience to know at this stage so any advice from 'hardened riders'? Starts at around 6C I think rising to 11 or 12C by the time we should ifnish the 100k route....

Just dont know how cold it is going to be on the bike at this time of year?

EAsiest is (I imagine) Longs with being warmer rather than colder but that obviously brings its own issues with fluid etc. HAve never used my sparkling brand new ASSOS leg warmers

HELP???? (please)

Knee warmers with normal bibs, base layer long sleeved with jersey over the top and medium weight gloves, toe warmers if you have them, warm socks if not.

As above, plus I'd wear a gilet to start with.

This. Mostly. I'd be tempted to keep the base layer short-sleved and use arm warmers instead. And oversocks, if just to keep some of the chill off yer' toes.

Definitely warmers, so much more versatile, it may be a nice day weather wise.

Thanks all - think I will go for leg warmers and l/s top with a foldaway windbreaker/showerproof
