    I ride in the early mornings, on shaded paths. I do soak my jersey, or at least the front and sleeves, if needed. I also don't push it. My rides on those days, until I've acclimatized (and even then) are slower and shorter. If it's really hot, I don't ride. I am not very heat-tolerant.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    I sit on the couch and whine about it.

    In all seriousness though, I am fine outside until it gets above maybe 95. Even then I might be ok, unless there's a hot breeze and you feel like you're inside the toaster oven.

    This week, though, I've been sitting on the couch and whining Coincides nicely with my running recovery.

    You earned the privilege of whining inside after that run!
