I ride really early in the morning, and try to ride shady routes. But still with the humidity as high as it is here, the heat kicks my butt. I end up taking a nap in the afternoon sometimes. Hydrate, hydrate, hyrdate!!

I also play tennis, and played singles last night at 6.30 - it was 95 degrees. Talk about brutal! In that case, hydration, icy towel on changeovers to wet down my face, arms, chest, legs - wet down my hair, etc. Still, on long points, i get that pounding in my head and nausea. Yeah, I know. It's stupid to keep playing, but I do.
