Update following the 135 mile and then 270 mile rides within 6 days last week:
-Gore soft shells (with the zip on arms so you can go from short-sleeved to long-sleeved) are fucking awesome.
-Sugoi shorts padding is pretty comfy though I think you need to be riding on a mattress to not be in pain after 400+ miles.
-Corinne Dennis tights are brilliant temperature wise, though not so tough if you chuck yourself into a hedge.
-Corinne Dennis waterproof jackets stay waterproof through 45 miles of downpour and are pretty comfy if a bit on the wide-and-short side cut-wise (but they have a dropdown flap at the back so shortness isn't really a problem).
-I am buying some sealskinz and a wooly hat; these things may have saved my life.
