We have found the riding tights are the best for long distance riding. My 
husband and I wear the Carousel brand that comes in all shapes, sizes and 
colors (even just solid black). For especially cold rides we went to Oshmans 
and picked up thermal pants for skiers which is almost like panty hose... And 
from what I hear some people do wear panty hose under their tights for 
warmth. They also sell a silky type head stocking that keeps your head warm 
and fits easily under helmets. We also bought socks for skiers that are 
supposed to keep your feet warm and dry, they work really good because my 
feet get cold easy. As far as everything else, layers, layers, layers.
