No AC, that shiz is heavy and saps power!

Desert heat isn't so bad with the dryness, but in the south 85 is hot with all the humidity. The sun in the desert is just brutal in the summer...

And, windows only mean glass gets broken all over the place when your helmeted head hits the window. So, if you even have windows - they are down.

I'll take 105 here over 85 there anytime. It might be hot, but only in the sun.

Nuun Tablets http://www.nuun.com/index.php are my answer to hydration. They are easier to pack than any liquid.

Those too. Very handy on the go.

They have tablets that are supposedly safe for camelbaks, but being as I had mold in my camelbak after using them, I am a little wary.

That is such a big fat lie! I like the dryness but seriously triple digits with no humidity just sucks ass. I am another one of those burst into flames people. I rather be in 85 and humidity.

I dunno... I've been in 110+ with little humidity and it wasn't bad... once you get out of the sun into the shade you're all right. a good 10-20* cooler.

in the Humidity the only break is into A/C... and having been in the Persian Gulf in May-Oct... and experiencing 120* temps with Humidity like we have here in MS... even A/C can only do so much before you're rushing into a 85* tent to feel refreshed!

the one NICE thing IMO about humidity... is that when you stop, you instantly sweat and once you start riding again, you get a nice bit of A/C for 10-20 mins... then it's right back to being in the sauna
