Cold weather gear and drag

Today I went for a ride and the temps were around low 50's. Add a windchill and the temps drop to low 40's. The last few weeks I've noticed how much drag affects you. With a loose fitting windbreaker, I have a hard time maintaining 27mph. With just a long sleeve jersey, I can easily maintain 29mph on flats.

Since stationary bike is super boring, I decided to invest in some warmer clothes. The Pearl iZumi AmFIB tights are great. I ordered the Elite Softshell jacket.

I also bought another long sleeve thermal baselayer. Those are great for every day wear.
