I have been riding for nearly 25yrs, I average 250 mile per week with trips ranging from 10 to 85 miles depending on the time I have. I want to ride more and the only way it seems for me to do so is to park the car and get on the bike!

My commute will be 26 miles of flat pavement. I live in southwest Florida where afternoon heat can be a killer!

I am looking for any and all imput. I know how to prepare for my rides, but this is a little different.

The one thing I have on my side, is I work where not showering won't be an issue. I work outside, but not in the direct sun!

Thanks for the help!
