Tim, I just got back from visiting family in KC and while I was there rode 120 miles of the Katy/Rock Island Spur trail from Columbia to around Pleasant Hill in that heat. I thought I was prepared but it was brutal. It reminded me of working on the family farm in July while bringing in Hay, and all you wanted to do was jump in the creek to cool off at the end of the day. The key for me was to ensure I have enough water and take multiple breaks to cool down.
Now that I'm back in DC, the weather isn't much better.
