It was 107 degrees in Central Texas yesterday and will be at least that today. I took a short ride and now I know what meals prepared in a convection oven feel like. I used the military version of the phase changing neck wrap that I had used very successfully in the desert. Didn't work very well here, the humidity was to high I guess. Has anyone found anything short of four wheels with A/C that helps keep you cool?
I will still ride despite the heat just trying to stay a little bit more comfortable if possible.

 

Ride Naked.

Just post where so we can avoid the area.

 

what danny said.. ride naked and go fast

 

Lots and lots of water.

 

Lose the fairing and get a coolsuit. Or just stuff ice down your pants.

 

What I was told to do by someone that rides in the heat is to wet your shirt down, put a jacket on top of it. Somehow it keeps you cool until the shirt drys. Then you rewet it again.
I have not tried it, but wish I knew about it when we were riding back last year from Sturgis. Hey it can not hurt, worth a try.

 

Wear a mesh jacket (yes, it is really cooler when moving than not having one on), sunscreen, and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

 

 

I wonder if a cool vest would help.I've been thinking about getting one myself,but haven't really hear if they work or not.

 

last year i had a denim vest and stuffed it full of blue ice worked good for short hops after about an hour they melt in 107 degrees
