How do you deal with the heat?

[Thorn]

Ice in the sports bra is amazing - really helps cool the core temp when its over 90 outside. I seriously consider it a huge advantage over men.

Also ice in tube sock around the neck.

Ice to the back of the neck. Hands down the winner over ice in the sports bra for me -- the ice on the neck cools me off more as the ice melts down my back instead of dripping onto my bike if I try the sports bra.

I have a 15 mile commute and I won't drive just because it is hot. When I get to work I put a container of ice water in the freezer at work. At the end of the day, I have a block of ice about the size of a baseball.

I tie a knot into my Buff such that I have enough for a beanie on one end and into the remaining tail, I place that ice block. Put the Buff on the head and the ice rests at the base of the neck. When I start out it can be a little too cold, but on a 90+ degree day, it quickly just becomes a cool spot. By the time I get home, that baseball sized block is just a sliver and my core temp survives. I'm not saying I don't feel the heat, but I'm not in distress.
