You said you ride 2-3 hours in the afternoon? What is the heat like?
Hey Dogmama!(love the name)
I put Emergen-c in one of my bottles on some rides, I also drink it daily! great product.
I guess my afternoon rides are really early evening rides. I try not to go out before 5, but sometimes I have to go around 4. Around 6:30 it starts to cool off, by 7:30 I am off the bike because the sun is setting(to many crazy drivers down here to even consider riding after dusk).

The heat here in South Florida right now is in the high 90s, with the heat index it has been feeling around 105(that is according to the weather channel).

At least my work schedule has changed now that school has started, so I know have 4 mornings that I can get on the bike, and it is looking like I might soon be able to get on every morning!

I just got back from a 45 miler, and it was sooo much cooler early on(started at 6). I actually feel energized now, instead of feeling like I need a nap.
