Hot ride...how to stay cool??

  • Jun. 17th, 2009 at 8:32 PM
It's hot here in GA. Heat index today when I went out - 95. It's not AZ hot, but it's still hot...specially when it's humid. I'm keeping my jacket, gloves, long pants, and boots on (helmet is required). Everywhere I look I see almost naked riders. My jacket has a removable outer piece, leaving me a mesh jacket w/ armor. Today I bought one of those neck bands with the water absorbant beads. It really helped. What I want now is to find those beads so I can make packs to put in my jacket pockets. I've seen vests packed with those beads. Wow...they're a little expensive. When I leave for a ride when it's really hot I usually wear a wet shirt to help keep the bod cool.

Any other ideas for staying cool when it's cooking outside?
