Anyone got any tips for riding in such conditions , I try to wear little, drink lots, but still it knocks the bejeezuz out of me.
Much appreciated
Where are you riding? We haven’t had an extended heatwave in this country for a few years.
I haven’t got a senible answer to your question – I don’t seem to have a problem with riding/running in the heat. I rode in 40 degrees in Morrocco and last year ran a marathon in Kenya in 30+degrees. Once you are moving you generate a breeze so maybe just get on with it and ride? Obviously drink plenty, make sure you don’t burn.

I climbed Ventoux two years ago, it was about 30C at the bottom.
I rode the Etape in 2000 when it finished at the summit of Ventoux. 30ish degrees at the bottom, 2 degrees and snowing on top!
