104 F today (40C) in Phoenix for this fine Saturday.....first one of the year and many more to come.
Have to stay hydrated and ride with a mesh jacket so I am reasonably cool when I am moving. Thinking about soaking a t-shirt to wear underneath and may buy a "camelback" style canteen for the ride home. Dont know if a bottle holder would fit some where on the bars or else? A drawback for the back pack canteen is that the drinking tube needs to be kept clean and can be a pain in the backside to keep clean (so I have heard).
Any words of wisdom for hot weather riding?
lil playmate cooler strapped to the rear rack full of ice with a water bladder inside .
ice cold water any time you want :wink:
Also, fill your camel back with ice cubes then fill the rest of the space with water. Cold water anytime you want it. It makes a HUGE difference in comfort, attitude and awareness. :wink:
dont listen to jetdocx, you need to ride shirtless, and put baby oil all over your skin, and drink booz heavily. :XXsunsmile
