I actually like riding in warmer weather than most ... at least out here where it is dry enough so that a cooling breeze evaporates perspiration. For me, it's a matter of making sure my electrolytes are within range (I use Endurolytes), and adjusting my pace accordingly. I drink when I'm thirsty and leave it at that.
I’ve always tolerated the heat well until just recently. I just started using my Endurolyte capsules while playing golf. I was running through 4-5 cycling bottles of water every 18 holes and realized that I probably needed to supplement with electrolytes. I told my golf buddies they were steroids to help me hit the ball further!!! I do think the electrolytes are helping me maintain more energy after the rounds.

@bigjohn-same here on the Vitamin D. I’m out in the sun for hours every day and extremely well tanned, but the doctor wants me to add more vitamin D???

Don’t my legs look like they are tanned?
