Great way to go! Except that flannel lines pants are't layering in the sense that if conditions or needs change as you ride, you have an option to remove a layer (or add one). A more flexible approach is to wear long johns under your jeans. Get too hot because the wind dies, or sun comes out? Just ride in jeans.
