Staying Cool during the Hot Days of Summer

Is it just me, or is getting harder to stay cool? It's been very hot outside and I've noticed my body isn't adjusted to the hot temperatures of summer yet! Too Hot to Handle My 22-mile bike ride this past weekend required two 24 oz water bottles, a scarf with pellets to soak in water to keep my neck cold and a large ice water from the restaurant at breakfast. Even so, according to my FitBit I had an hour and 23 minutes of peak heart rate, which by any of my standards is too much.

The weather forecast was supposed to be the low 90's today and my bike group has a long bike ride planned in Cleveland, starting before noon and probably not finishing until well after 4 pm. Of course, we won't be riding the entire time. We'll be taking photos (there are 3 Cleveland signs on the route) and probably stopping at a marina on Lake Erie for lunch. Being able to participate in a long day during the heat, without any ill effects, can be a challenge. Heat gets to me, so I try to do several things to stay cool during summer heat. You probably are doing most of them already. (Some aren't so pretty.) Here are my heat tips for bike riding or running a race when it...
