Riding in Heat and Cold Excessive or Not

Dry Heat

Let's start with Excessive heat, like in the southwest USA in the summer. Here are some riding suggestions for products as well as other solutions to keep cool and prevent heat stroke and related issues. Obviously, this works in Israel or anywhere excessive heat exists.

3 Don'ts you should remember:

Don't drink Caffine (coffee, soda)
Don't eat candy or simple sugars
ENSURE you are also replacing your electrolites, GATORAID works fine and is a proven drink.
You have to sweat, and you have to let that sweat evaporate.
