Ok, misery loves company I guess! I think the problem is we don't seem to have seasons anymore. Just one or two weeks of nice temps then BOOM. We're in the 90s with serious humidity. Damn climate change.

I wouldn't have chosen to go at 10am, it was a scheduled group ride. I'll go solo if need be from now on. And possibly a camelback. I didn't want to pull out a camelback on a group ride for fear of looking like a dork (I know that heatstoke isn't cool though!).

I like the ice in sports bra and wet buff ideas a lot. Last night I rode and it was nearly 100 but the sun was setting so I didn't really have a problem.
