I'm a computer geek and tend to work in data centers, so dealing with the heat is getting more difficult each year. Yesterday, we spent a day riding in 90+ humid, muggy heat. Not that hot really, yet for Texas anyway, but it's getting there. With all the gear: pants, jersey, gloves, helmet, boots, goggles....man was it hot after each ride. We'd ride for a bit, maybe an hour or so, then stop to rest in the shade drinking lots of water. After 3 rounds of this, I had to call it a day because I knew I could be getting in trouble: dizzy, very tired, rapid heart rate. Heat injury was starting.
So, what are some good tips for summer riding? I don't want to miss out on riding, but I don't want to get into a potentially fatal situation either.
