Here's what works for me, may or may not be right for you.


I ride all-year in Virginia, so maybe not hugely different from you; have done anywhere between 50 and >200 miles in a week. I use the same nonspecific clothing on my bike as I do for hiking and other things. Dress in layers, have some good wind/water breaking shell, and keep your legs warm to keep your feet warm. I learned that the hard way - frozen toes due to not keeping the bloodlines to my tooties toasty.


My typical summer gear: wool or Smartwool undershorts, cheap gym shorts, T-shirt (maybe a wicking shirt if it's really hot), plain cotton socks, hiking sneakers. Comfy leather Brooks saddle. No padding necessary or wanted. 50-70 mile days certainly doable.


Fall: long-sleeve T-shirt and add a layer; some warmer hiking pants and a shell, sometimes with a light fleece top. Switch from cotton socks to Smartwool thicker hiking socks.


Winter: add a layer. Silk long underwear in particular is CRAZY WARM. Wore that winter hiking in Iceland, and I was stripping down and sweating when the rest of my group was complaining about being cold. Silk sock liners under the heavy Smartwool hiking socks. Got some military surplus shooting mittens : wool liners, leather outers with wrist covers, you can pull index finger in or out for warmth or controls. Those, and my helmet, are the only gear I've bought specific for cycling.
