I live and commute in New Orleans but I spend my summers in the northeast Vermont (the NEK). I am a little amused when my neighbors here complain about the ocassional 90 degree day as unbearable. On the gulf coast we endure at least five months of steady, day-in-day- out heat indexes of 100+ degrees. Because of the humidity, it doesn't really cool off at night. Yesterday it was 95 at midnight. For really hot weather riding, I favor loose long sleeve shirts (seersucker sold by RBW is good), plenty of liquid and a V8 about every hour or so. One also has to get past the notion that copious perspiration is to be avoided. In fact just the opposite is true. Even in high humidity, sweat cools you off so long as you are moving. GeorgeS
