I'm much like you in this respect. Although I think I cool off too well generally. I sweat very little unless it's steaming hot (above about 25°C in the summer) during the ride. I've been on long rides in moderate temperatures and arrive back home with my skin completely dry.

A pleasant consequence of this is that I don't have to wash my cycling clothes that often, and I rarely need to shower after a ride.
