It was 122 F in Borrego Springs today. I'll be riding there in full gear tomorrow on an errand. I think I'll put some cold beer in my hydration pack...

You've probably already heard of it but they make a "cooling vest".
You simply soak it in either a bag or sink with water, ring some of the water out and wear over a single shirt, UNDER your regular jacket.(not dripping wet)
It works surprising well!
You do have to "re-charge" it (especially that hot outside) at about every gas stop, but does lower the "feel like",
body core temp easily 10 degrees..
It's a dry heat Blah
[MENTION=2579]Motogiro[/MENTION] So did ya make it? Or take the sensible choice of cage + A/C?
It's 101F here right now. My AC is cranked and struggling.
My house air cond broke on Monday. Couldn't get a repairman until Firday. Of course, hubby is out of town working until Friday. Convenient for him!! Poor puppies are melting. House has been averaging 82-85 degrees inside each afternoon. High temps 100+
Invest in one of those portable (on wheels) A/C units 3-$400 for a good one.
Works great!!
I have one for the family room that the generator can easily run (hurricane, power out, HOLIDAYS, etc). Well worth the $...
I have another wall unit A/C in the garage (built thru/into the concrete wall) that can get colder in the garage than the house!
