Well, I finally decided to get Sylvia, my girlfriend to take pictures of me on my bike.  I have been bike  commuting to work for about 5 weeks this summmer.  I average 20-30 miles a day and about 100-150 miles a week.  I am preparing for a 100-mile ride at the end of August in Wichita Falls Texas called the Hotter 'n Hell 100 .   When I first got to Texas I could not ride 20 miles during the summer heat, but now I can do it just fine.  I did have to make some adaptations to my paradigm for cycling in Oregon to cycling here in Austin.    I added two water bottles to my bike.  I put sports drink powder in them.  I use them to hydrate in addition to using my water bladder on my back     I had to give up on cloth headbands to prevent sweat from getting in my eyes.  I purchased a gutter guard, which is a plastic headband with a gutter that allows the sweat to drip down the side of your face and not into your eyes.     I have gotten use to really sweating when I ride.  I use to hate head...
