Down jacket (which you'll need for riding) and half sleeping bag. Or just wear leg warmers and down jacket and hat.
Yeah until you get out there and really try it, you won't know what you can deal with. Me? I can sleep totally rough with nothing and I'm happy enough. But I remember the first time I went away. Fuck I had so much stuff. Every time since I took less and less. You learn more about yourself and what you're happy with and what limits you can push. Last time I went touring, it was with a silk liner and rab bivi and inflatable matt. And even then I slept out without the bivi a lot when it was nice.

No, I got the normal one. Maybe with a matt and a bag inside it might be too small. Need to try it to find out. I need to buy a smaller bag and matt anyway (see Sleeping Bag thread). Might try just using a down/Polartec jacket.
Everyone is different. ie. Jesse won it using a feckin' emergency bivvy and a jacket.
