my tips, based on riding in hot Israel 1) start as early as possible in the day. Nothing beats the colors of sunrise over the Jerusalem mountains... 2) if you're into long XC rides, go for ones with shorter climbs and road/trail with firmer ground, avoid roads that are ground into powder 3) know where you can get water on your course in case you run out of water 4) try to choose a shaded area. my favorite is a course in the pine forests

Another vote for freezing the hydration pack the night before the trip. Have been practicing this trick from the time I got one and love the end result (steady flow of ice cold water). Also, in between trips, I keep storing the empty packs in the freezer. Supposedly this is one fool proof method of preventing any mold from building up. So far I can say that indeed it works!

I just started riding a bike in May,..i had not done so in years. I love it. In North Carolina it gets hot, not as much as Florida but still pretty hot so even though i am a beginner hydration is important on my list. I don't mountain bike yet but my cheap hybrid keeps me on my toes and here at the beach there is plenty to do. I research what to do to stay cool first then i plan my rides. since i am a beginner i start out going on short distances. I bike ride to a park that is about 1/2 mile to 1 mile away. there is plenty of shade and even a small off road trail that my bike can handle. I know where the water fountains are and I take a small back pack that is light on the luggage. I take two bottles mixed with either gateraide or just plain water. i don't go during the heat of the day which means I ride in the morning or late in the evening. I plan on riding about 10miles to a park down the road but that is for another day and I am already planning on that.

Just a few things: 1. 90+ temps, you must hydrate the night before or you're going to have issues 2. NEVER freeze your water bladder or fill it full of ice. Most manufactures will tell you it will fail/crack at some point and will void any warranty 3. Banana or some other type of electrolyte is needed if you're sweating out a gallon of water a day or you will get heat cramps. I pulled my calf with one I had one so bad in GA heat.

I live in South Mississippi and I wear a black full face helmet, lined with a black wool cap while I ride. My gloves are black and I wear long workout pants which are also black. (Today my shirt was black too). Today when I rode, the temp was 97° when I started riding and was 100° when I was done. All your tips are very good and I'm gonna start freezing my hydration pack the night before. Thank you for the tip. Another couple things I do to stay on the trails for long rides in 100° weather are 1. Wet my hair before the ride. (When you start rolling, you're instantly cooled down) 2. Water breaks every 15-20 mins and on every water break wet your wrists and your temples. Also, both sides of your neck and if you have ice water, hold the bottle on your neck and take deep breaths, which instantly brings your body temp down. This has allowed me to ride for 10+ miles wearing all that hot black stuff and not get sick from heat exhaustion On some days though, like today, those water breaks are more like every 10 mins

Arizonan here, all of the things you said are helpful. The heat here is excruciating and I have found that there is an additional level of preparation required. Think of athletes who go to the mountains to train. They do this to put their bodies through a harsher environment so they can have an edge. In a similar way, I have found that gradually acclimating to the heat is helpful. Your body will change how it functions to be enhanced for the extreme heat. The goal is to reduce the impact extreme heat has on you, physiologically. Getting out and being more active in the seasons leading up to summer, driving with the windows down when possible, and doing other day to day things once it is hot will help transition your body. Additionally, I bring a cucumber (mostly water and might aid as an anti-inflammatory), salt, and chewing gum to keep my mouth and throat moist. To reduce sun exposure and evaporation from the ultra dry air I wear a thin, loose, white, long sleeve training shirt. If you train your body, you will be physiologically more prepared and can put more brain and body power to the task at hand, rather than trying to figure out how to cope with the heat. If it's still overwhelming, go in the morning. Or just go to Flagstaff.

Out here in california its going to be in the 100s next week. Last time I rode during a heat wave I found that just the hydration pack isnt enough. I ran out of water during the first loop so I took one descent down back to my car and grabbed some water bottles. Filled all my water up at the drinking fountain and went back out to the wilderness park. Most helpful TIP I can give is to take the extra water bottles with you and when youre climbing and start overheating, stop and pour some water on yourself. Get your jersey, socks and even shorts wet. When youre ready to ride uphill again and the wind hits you itll feel AMAZING. And OF COURSE dont pour water on yourself when you need it for drinkng(hence the extra water bottles). Ive seen 3 hikers get 911 called on them from heat exhaustion. Stay safe and have fun! BTW check out some of my lame mtb vids lol

Many of the conversations are about dry heat vs humid heat. Either way, you sweat to cool yourself. While humidity makes it more difficult to cool, your soaked shirt reminds you to hydrate. Riding in the dry Southwest, many people forget to hydrate, because they do not feel the moisture leaving their body through respiration and perspiration. As Seth says, “The key is hydration.” When I lived in AZ, the way to extend the riding season was with lights! Riding at 4am was the coolest option, when it gets down into the 80s in May and 90s in summer.
@islandman64278 жыл бұрын
Seth, I agree, I live in South Texas on the coast, so 95 degrees and 80+% humidity make riding the trails an early AM thing from about May to September. I do have a suggestion that works for me. I also hydrate well at home before I head out to the trails. I also take a Thermo Tab. A salt tablet sold at Walmart. I only take one and then wash it down with a full glass of water about an hour before I hit the trails. I can drink all of my hydration pack (3 liters) in a 90 minute trail ride. After 90 minutes I am usually soaked and done. I also carry some sugar free Gatorade in the car and drink one or more of these after the bike is loaded and the AC in the car is cranked on as I head home. This method has worked well for this 50+ year old and prevents dehydration and any leg cramps later in the day. If you can drink 3 liters of water and never pee, you are doing some serious sweating. Hope this helps.

TIP 1: Get rid of the racing jersey. You're not racing, you're out to enjoy, get exercise, have fun etc. Jerseys trap the heat against your body with their elastic hems. Sure you can unzip the front but in order to be really comfortable you gotta have the entire thing unzipped. Do you really want your belly hangin out in the breeze? I don't. SOLUTION: A regular moisture wicking shirt from wallmart or similar retailer. Once you hit about 10-12 mph the sleeves and waist open up and begin to flap in the breeze. That's free ventilation without having to do anything. All by itself it increases the air flow throughout your shirt eliminating your body heat and 'helps' to keep you cooler------cooler than a tight fitting jersey.

I live and ride in Central Texas and It is both super hot and super humid in the summer. Survival tips: start the ride as early as possible in the morning, take lots of water and electrolytes (including salt pills for longer rides), make use of any available trail shade, and avoid riding in the afternoon hours. I always try to wear light cycling gear and a well ventilated helmet. I always wipe down my bike post-ride to get the sweat of the frame to prevent corrosion.Take frequent breaks during the ride and try not to overdo it; cramps and heat exhaustion are no fun!

Being from the Northeast, I almost passed out on a road ride in Mississippi when I ran out of water. Heat is no joke, and these are really helpful tips

I live in Georgia and I personally do something that most people don't have the luxury of doing. if there is a death march climb that immediately leads to a blistering downhill, wait at the top in the sun and sweat. I know it will suck, but once you get some speed in the downhill the sweat will make you shiver

We are in 95 degree weather in New Mexico and it's monsoon season. A thin cotton tee shirt and some Van's Vanphibian shorts work well. Drinking ambient temperature water is best to prevent your body from going into shock from ice cold water. Your videos are very informative. Keep it up bro!

Another great video! As an Arizona MTBer who is CONSTANTLY battling heat I'll tell you what works for me. First of all, wearing a white shirt is huge. The amount of sunlight reflected away from your body is worth a few degrees atleast. Also, not to be the lame old guy here or anything, but a lot of you young guys have got to start using sunblock!!! Skin cancer is fully real. My dad was an outdoorsman in his youth and his reward now that he is in his 60's is to get skin cancers removed from his face, arms and ears once or twice every year. Also your tip about gatorade is huge. Even if people dont like it, it's a scientific fact that your body will absorb the hydration faster in the heat if electrolytes are included. I fill my hydration pack with water and I carry a water bottle with gatorade that I pound halfway through my ride. Stay cool my friends, dont be macho. In arizona we just had a 12 year old kid die from the heat while he was on a hike with his dad. Sunblock, water, and know when to call it. It's difficult to shred the gnar when you are dead.

Seth and everyone, I highly recommend getting a lightweight merino wool shirt for riding (or doing anything) in hot weather. Once you try merino shirts in the heat, you won't want to wear cotton which feels gross and stifling in comparison. They are also superior for general cycling use because synthetic ("plastic") jerseys get stinky super fast, but merino doesn't. As a _fiber_, merino has the downside of not being very abrasion-resistant so if you have long sleeve wool garments, expect holes in high-wear areas like elbows & cuffs -- but short sleeve merino generally doesn't have this problem. Merino's other downside is its cost. The stuff ain't cheap. But it is SO worth it for its unparalleled comfort. In fact, with just a few exceptions (such as my trailbuilder organization's volunteer shirt) I've switched from cotton to merino for all my shirts. Zero regrets. Seth, it's been two years since you made this video, how about a "merino review" update video? Your content is high-quality and influential and I think you'd love merino and would help others take the wooly plunge. OK, enough merino fanboying... Keep up the good work and stay cool.

*For water bottles*, put a zip tie around your frame and bottle cage. tighten it around your bottle until its tight but still acessable. For plastic water bottles that shrink just tighten it through the ride. I commute on my bike have been saved by this SO MANY TIMES.

Longboarding cowboy from Phoenix here if you want to know some ways to brave 115° I’ve got some tips 1 hydration 2 hydration 3 go to a fishing store and get a cooling neck gaiter get it wet maybe freeze it a little it can cool your core temp Down up to thirty degrees 4 cold shower recovery 5 avoid riding on surfaces that reflect heat if you can like black asphalt 6 work you’re way up slowly and eventually you can cope with heat like a rattlesnake

the best thing about hydration packs is that they facilitate the best practice for hydration, which is lots of little sips, consistently having a little not stopping to have a lot

Phoenix AZ here. because I'm so close to my trails i fill my pack with ice cubes then water, same effect as yourself but a little more water available at any time. another thing to help is bandannas soaking wet and super cold, put it on your head under your helmet, when it drys out use some cold cammlepack water to re-wet it. the evapritive cooling works well! I also recomend a gaterneck here to so if a haboob happens while your out and about you can put it on and not inhale the sand!

Another good add on/option is to take a medium towel, soak it in cold water wrinch it out 2/3rd and hang it around your neck. It cools a lot down even on the hottest day. When you pass another fountain or so wet the towel again and wrinch it out and so on. You can also use the towel to wet your lips or breath through it for extra comfort. When climbing a long climb I hang the towel over my head without the helmet of course. The helmet is for rough stuff and going down.

I live in Arizona. I ride in the summer! The only way to have an enjoyable summer ride in Arizona is to get up very early and start when the sun is just coming up. As soon as 8-9am hits. Time to go home 😕

Im in Phoenix, Arizona and had to invest in some specific gear to brave the summer. Trying to ride during the day in 110+ weather and you notice very quick what works and what doesn’t. I use a minimalist hydration pack. The idea is to limit the amount of contact between you and the pack as possible. The friction and lack of air just create too much heat and you’ll stop to take it off too often. Long sleeve moisture wicking shirts are awesome. I also use a hat that is made of lightweight breathable fabric with an extra long bill and neck drape. Wick socks are nice with breathable shoes.

Coming from Scotland to Utah is such a massive change in climate. Our summer's are about 70° max, and Utah averages about 85-90° or more in parts. The heat is my biggest obstacle. That and the fact I'm quite new to the sport, and not as fit as I'd like to be. Got a decent sized camelback from a thrift store for $1 and I use that, or take the bag out for shorter rides and put a bottle and snacks in. I wear basketball shorts and a tank-top mainly. Still to buy a helmet, but I'll get one this week. I haven't been doing anything too technical. Bought a 2017 Marlin 5, and put Maxxis on it, new lock on grips, and decent pedals. The components aren't great, but the minor upgrades have made it feel a lot better. Anyway. Keep the videos coming. I've watched a load of them. Cheers.

I freeze a small Frogg Togg before I go. By the time I get to the trail it is just cold. I then put it under my helmet on top of my head. Once it gets warm I stop and pour cold water from my hydration pack to cool it down again. Yes, I lose some ventilation but the coolness from the Frogg Togg more than makes up for it. I live in hot, steamy Alabama and this has been my best solution to date.

Haven't ridden in four days. Slipping into depression. 90+ in California. A sure way to ride in hot weather is by going on a dawn patrol run or set out a bit before dusk. I'll ride tonight. Sun sets at 8:00PM and my loop is about 90 minutes, so I leave about 2 hrs before sun set. Dawn patrol is coolest, but work kind of gets in the way.

Hi Seth. Not sure how much this helps where the humidity is at least as high as the temperature but here's what I've done from all four corner states. Dunk my head by way of my camelback. Bend forward, pinch your bite valve and wet your head/face. Then once you start riding again you've got some wind chill going on. You use more water but so what. Ice in the camelback is great too. Hope it helps.

As the weather here in Kansas gets hot (and it can be both high temperatures as well as quite humid) you sweat a lot. So, I use a hydration pack (3 lt.) when it's really hot, and a couple of bottles for when it's not so bad, or the ride is shorter. I also use either electrolyte replacement capsules, or something like Hammer's Endurolytes Fizz. But beginning hydration the day before is the best. I eat a small amount of carbs at the beginning, and then very lightly snack throughout the ride itself. Small bites of a Clif Bar, or an occasional gel. Works for me. But, when it's really hot---I go out really early in the morning, and get home by around 9:00!

As an Arizona resident, early morning rides or night rides are your best bet. Riding mid-day can be brutal. If you condition yourself and hydrate well though, you can ride for a good while. Learn to recognize the signs of heat exhaustion and know when to call it quits though. Go riding with a partner with equal abilities if you can.

This explained my last ride very well, at least the negative not-getting-hydrated-enough parts. I was riding in Jupiter Florida at the Camp Murphy trails where there is no breeze and no trees to protect you from the sun. Let's just say it was a very hard day, hahaha.
