I think if I was in Oklahoma I would over hydrate, I imagine its very hot, dry and windy.

Again Thanks!

Try to stuff it in your pocket or a seatpost bag. I see too many people with a loosely tied jacket just waiting to get caught in a rear wheel or brake.

Another idea is a tyvek FedEx pouch or grocery bag under your jersey until it warms up, then just tosss it out at a rest stop.
