RE: [RC] [RC] Hot weather - Howard Bramhall

Carol, we must get you to a Florida ride sometime (one where I'll be attending) to see if your methods of cooling work out with our humidity as awful as it normally is down here. I think we should try it each time you come into ridecamp after completing a loop in this awful heat and high humidity. I'll be more than willing to provide the water, via hose, bucket, sponge or any method you prefer.

God bless wimmen like you; it keeps old farts like myself alive and kickin.

Life just ain't worth livin
Without wet T-Shirt'd wimmen.

cya,
Howard (trying to stay as cool as Carol)

Elysa,
They're right. The best way to cool yourself off is just keep yourself wet. If there's a river or creek just get off your horse and splash or scoop water on yourself also while your getting your horse wet. My girlfriend will actually take off her shirt and dip it in the water. That keeps you cool for a long time on a hot day. I remember on the Red Rock pre-ride I poured water down my shirt from the horse trough, almost at the end of the ride, to the amazement of the elderly gentleman, who was volunteering there. Needless to say, he didn't object. I think I had that look on my face, you know the one, I'm hot, this is a friggin' desert, I'm sick of the sand, and I don't give a s*** if you don't like it, I'm getting wet. Also, you probably shouldn't drink a bottle of White Zinfandel the night before and a pot of coffee in the morning before the ride. Not that I know anybody who does such silly stuff...
Good luck,
Carol
