beng1 - the simplest and most effective solution is to just ride early in the morning. The past two weeks saw temps near or over 100 with high humidity. But at 6am, the temps were in the mid- to upper 60s. My club rides at 6am during the week. On weekends, we start at 7 or 7:30 depending on the expected noon temp. Even down here, it's rarely above the upper 80s by noon.
I did the Battle of Atlanta (Peachtree 10K) that year it was 100+
Not the finest hour for anyone, or even half-hour.
