I'd appreciate some hints on how to cope with riding in the summer. I know it's prime season for a lot of forum riders and most of us are ATGATT.
I have mesh jacket and over pants and find an evaporate vest helps but when the temperature reaches 90 plus, I'm cooked. Soaking my head works
for half an hour. Last year I rode from NC to Alabama passing through Atlanta when the temperature was 95. Somehow I made it but for the most
part I was going 80 mph and at time my stomach felt a little queasy, and, oh yeah, I'm a geezer. Stopping is murder. I realize a lot of this is personal
levels of endurance and heat tolerance but perhaps there are some techniques that I'm missing. I'd appreciate your sharing them.
