What materials do you recommend for desert riding,
hot, sunny,
drier climate? I am hoping to do a 100 in August,
and am trying
to find a shirt that will keep the sun from sucking
my skin dry.
Do you use gloves too, if so what type of material?

In So Cal I used to ride in a white long sleeved men's
dress shirt (took ones my husband was throwing away). 
The collar keeps the sun off your neck & the fabric is
stiff enough to stand away from the body rather than
clinging (especially as my husband is literally about
twice my size).  

I always ride in gloves.  I like the cheapy stretch
ones.  They're thin & wear out every couple months,
but are cheap enough that I consider them disposable.
