Biking shorts and Camelbak are probably the next most important in my opinion. Then gloves then bike jersey (you can use any athletic 'dryfit' type workout shirt until you get a jersey).

Thanks for the info! Who makes a decent priced riding shirt? So far I've managed to get the gloves and the shorts but have yet to find a shirt I like.

Keep an eye out for sales at like Performance or email Nema in HB and they have company sales once in a while....

Another option is Steepandcheap.com or Campmor.com they also carry discounted clothes

As long as you are shopping online you might try Price Point

Price Point - Discounts on Mountain Bike and Road Bike Parts, Accessories and Cycling Clothing

You can also check your local Bike Shops... Most have a discount rack from last season/year... That way you can actually try the stuff on..

You may even come across a great deal at REI, Sports Chalet, or Sports Authority.

But like J_Sims says...check your LBS.
