Excellent point. I don't have the heat you do (I have that and a lot more at work all day) but we do get our 90+ with 100% humidity and it is a good bit better riding in the woods. The best part is every mile or sooner there is water flowing down the mountain side to the river I ride next too and with all the rain we've had this summer, I can feel the air temperature drop probably almost 10° as I ride past these streams coming down the mountain.
