One more suggestion, a sleeping bag liner. A gal I used to know swore by them to keep your sleeping bag cleaner when you are dirty. I have been using one for over a decade now.
Some people say that a sleeping bag liner makes your sleeping bag warmer. I do not notice that, but I do know that my sleeping bags stay cleaner when I use a sleeping bag liner.
Daytime, some full finger gloves help a lot in cooler weather on a bike I also use an ear band under my helmet to keep the wind off of my ears, and I often use a helmet rain cover even in sunny weather if it is cool to keep the air out of the air vents. Toe covers over the shoes help too, but when it rains you want real rain covers over your shoes.
In the campsite I like to have a down vest along in spring or fall and a stocking cap. A down vest under a rain jacket can be pretty warm when you also have a stocking cap on.
