And be aware of where you stop. If possible you want to stop in the shade. When you do stop for longer than a minute or so, then consider if you need to pull off your helmet to let your head get better cooling and if using sunsleeves, get them off too. When you stop, the cooling from airflow and sweat is gone, so you can really heat up quick when temp are high and no breeze.
EXCELLENT points to remember especially sunsleeves - never thought about that. Thank You.
