Light clothing (wicking polyester athletic shirts and shorts are better, cotton is not great; find what works for you)
Take a plastic soda bottle you have used and freeze water in it prior to the ride. If you freeze a half-full bottle on its side, you can add cold water just prior to the ride and have cold water along for 30+ minutes, as the ice melts in the heat
Sandals as footgear can keep your feet cooler, if your cycling approach would allow sandals
Stay cool and keep riding!
