Found a nice evap cooling vest to ride in. Thing held almost 1.5 liters of water and the ride was reasonably comfortable.
Product info or url for this? Been watching the Tour de France coverage, been meaning to search for info on those 'ice vests' some teams are using now.....

There you go.
Interesting! I've seen people wear them, but had no idea what they were!
Holds water in it for a good 3+ hours....as long as there is air moving over it, it FEELS like it drops the temp anywhere from 10-15 degrees. When it's 105 outside, that can make a world of difference.

Try to go to the range (outdoor) before noon, at least once a week. Last weeks match was cancelled due to "excessive heat". Shot the match on the 2nd, it wasn't that bad. We have a match Saturday, heat should be 90s by 10:00am. Hydrate with water and water with electrolyte powder. I pass on Gatorade, too much sugar. Going to be 63 next month, not doing too bad, can't complain. :hurry: Bike riding is definitely helping my stamina. And losing/keeping of weight.
I started doing more outdoor cycling when government lockdowns closed the gyms. Last year, I set a goal to do 2000 miles, and barely got it by November before I had an accident. This year, I set a goal to do 2400 miles. I'm up to 1155 as of last night when I knocked out 18.6. It was 102F outside with a heat index of 106F according to google when I left. Found a nice evap cooling vest to ride in. Thing held almost 1.5 liters of water and the ride was reasonably comfortable.
