Welcome
The
May
Issue
of
our
newsletter.
It's
almost
summer,
and
temperatures
are
starting
to
inch
up
to
triple
digits.
Don't
be
caught
off
guard
this
summer!
Prepare
yourself
to
escape
to
the
mountains
or
head
out
to
the
lake
and
cool
off.
Your
whole
family
will
thank
you
for
it! |

Beat
the
Heat! |
| There
is
no
escaping
the
summer
heat.
Or
is
there? |
Going
for
a
ride
can
be
a
great
way
to
beat
the
heat,
though
picking
your
way
through
heavy
traffic-or
crossing
the
desert-when
it's
100
degrees
in
the
shade
doesn't
quite
qualify
as
"good
ride"
material
in
our
book.
Lets
face
it,
Phoenix
can
be
pretty
miserable
in
the
summer.
But
there
are
several
things
you
can
do
to
make
your
experience
bearable
and
even
pleasant.
Hydrate
or
Die
Obviously
one
of
the
most
important
things
you
can
bring
is
water,
and
lots
of
it.
Be
sure
to
bring
at
least
several
liters
of
water
or
consider
buying
a
Camelback
to
drink
on
the
go!
Plan
around
the
heat
Why
go
through
the
heat
when
you
can
beat
it
or
wait
it
out?
Plan
your
routes
so
that
you
are
riding
at
cooler
hours,
or
plan
your
route
so
that
you
are
in
cooler
parts
of
the
state
at
the
hottest
times
of
the
day.
Vented
Clothing
Boots,
gloves,
jackets
you
name
it,
it's
probably
got
a
vented
version.
Service
manager
Dwight
Klapper
gives
this
advice,
"When
I
go
riding
in
the
summer
afternoons,
I
do
several
things.
First
I
get
my
t-shirt
all
wet
and
then
I
put
on
my
thin
leather
jacket
with
the
back
vents
opened
and
the
front
vents
closed.
This
keeps
air
circulating
through
the
top
of
the
jacket
without
drying
the
t-shirt
in
10
minutes.
As
time
goes
on,
I
gradually
open
the
vents
in
the
front
to
permit
more
airflow."
A
High
quality
helmet
can
make
a
huge
difference
as
well.
A
wet
bandanna
A
cool
wet
bandanna
on
your
neck
can
be
a
life
saver,
it
helps
you
keep
your
head
and
neck
cool
while
you
ride.
Some
companies
like
Zan
headgear
specifically
make
a
bandanna
with
absorbent
crystals
in
them
to
last
longer.
Wear
lighter
colors
A
known
but
frequently
ignored
fact
is
that
lighter
colors
are
less
heat
absorbent.
Take
advantage
of
that!
Be
sure
to
go
with
a
friend
If
you
are
riding
off-road
it's
always
smart
to
go
with
a
friend
in-case
trouble
arises.
You
don't
want
to
be
caught
stranded
10-miles
away
from
your
ride
in
110
degree
weather.
With
a
friend
he
can
either
help
you
repair
your
bike
or
help
you
get
back
to
base
camp.
Be
safe
and
enjoy
the
heat
everyone! |
