Gets really !@#$% hot here in Tennessee. My commute is 9 miles each way. When coming home, I go slower and make sure I have a bottle of chilled ice water in an insulated bottle. It still ain't fun and you never "beat" the heat, but I like to think it's at least an uneasy truce. Also, for me anyway, moisture-wicking shirts, helmet with plenty of vents, and find the most shady route, if you have a choice.
