I like your philosophy (except for not riding in winter). Riding must above all else be fun, otherwise, to hell with it.
Can you post link or links to those bamboo/cotton and Modal shirts? I know that in high summer, I say "aero be damned" and wear rayon (= wood fiber) Hawaiian shirts, which are cool, antiseptic, comfortable, air-circulation-promoting, and cheap-iss-imus at Goodwill: sub $5. But knit rayon that is not quite as billowy might be even better.

You can't go neither forwards nor backwards into your daddy's time nor your children's if you have them. In yourself right now is all the place you've got.
