I was packing my under armour compression cold gear to wear during the day, since I will be under the bridge and in the shade all day long. Since I wont be in the sun at all, i am guessing it will be quite chilly under the bridge all day right? And since I will be mostily stationary, I should be prepared for that right?

Like Dean says, A long rack would be nice so you can have more room to spread bars without having to drop a bar. I also did Golandrinas and did not seem to notice because there was no wind , used the same standard rack there. I would recommend a long rack.
