Alex, are you riding at a different altitude than you live? If it is the same, it's really only the humidity that you need to worry about in addition to the heat. If you're riding at higher altitude than you live, your respiratory rate may increase and you'll loose water through more rapid breathing.
MP, correct me if I'm wrong.
If you live in SLC at 4,400-5,400 ft (depending on your location) and you're riding in the same general area/altitude, you should only have the humidity and heat to worry about. If you live at sea level and go ride at 5,000 ft, then your breathing will quicken and you'll loose water more quickly.
I'm in agreement with everyone on the over-hydration.

Margo, I like this online conversion calculator because it gives you the imperial and US options.

A Million Bucks!
That's what I felt like today! I started earlier and went up into Park City to ride, so about 2000 feet higher than yesterday. I averaged about 12 oz. of Heed per hour and had 3 Endurolytes during the course of the ride. I hammered just about the whole way and did hill repeats while waiting for my riding companions to catch up.
(They were okay with that. Otherwise, I would have stuck with them.) I stopped for some potato chips at a convenience store because I was craving salt, which has never happened to me on a ride before. I also felt hungry, which also never happens. I weighed one pound less after my ride than when I started.
Thanks for everyone's feedback. Overhydration was definitely the problem yesterday. You all nailed it!

Too many favorites and you can't find it (well, I can rarely find the things I put them)...try this next time...just ask Google. In the search area type, "1 liter to ounces".

Google will parse out and do a lot of conversions for you.
