From: The Alta Loma area of Rancho Cucamonga. About 45 miles east of Los Angeles, California. Uphill, downhill and across hill riding; not too level!

Sometimes after climbing even small hills I find myself very light headed and sometimes have to stop. Once I had to pour water all over my head just to cool down. Any suggestions?
Ger'out of the air conditioning. Properly hydrating and losing weight, of course, helps but I have found it most beneficial to not use air conditioning, except to be able to sleep and even keep that to a minimum. During the summer I get so used to the heat that when in an air-conditioned theater or store, I am freezing--and I am no light weight.
