I imagine the denim would keep the wind from circulating, but having it wet is an interesting theory. I just might have to try that. That sounds pretty interesting Gary.

When it gets hot, I find wearing a denim shirt helps keep me cool as I completely soak it before leaving on the commute home. The shirt dries out after about 4 miles, except the collar stays damp all the way home. It all helps in trying to stay cool. I commute in Bullhead City, about 200 miles north on the Colorado River.

Can't wash that off!" For Tucson, I find that hydration and reducing loads are the key. On super hot days, I use my xtracycle and wear a camelback. That way I don't feel the burden of the load and my back can breathe. Cold showers after I get home are also are nice, except when we run out of cold water. Other than that, be sure that the bike is completely checked over. No need to do road side repairs in the heat that could've been avoided.

So I'll start it off....I like long bike rides along the street. I love buffets, my favorite color is tan, and I love poopies! Drew,

He was station in PA for the past 3 years and recently relocated to Yuma Az. He's always been part of Bike Commuters, but he took a short sabbatical in order to manage his relocation affairs. But he's back and he'll be commuting in hellish conditions, he'll be able to give us some insight on how to do it right without killing ourselves! Drew,
