Some of those guys have some pretty hefty man boobs. It could get ugly.
In this age of progressive thinking and equality should we not consider a wet skivvies contest? Maybe for charity?

The clouds swept in and kept the temps at bay, never got above 77 degrees when they were predicting 87 for the day. Rode from early morning to about 4:15 Pm and put on 200 miles stopping and seeing friend and relatives. All in all a very nice ride without 90 degree plus weather. Praise the sun god for staying behind the clouds.
For me, and of course YMMV, the only important number is humidity.
Riding in Utah with 100 degrees and 2% humidity was wonderful. The sweat evaporates as soon as it comes out and does its little cooling trick. Just had to make sure to keep drinking water.
In St Louis, any temperature over 76 with 80% or higher humidity and the evaporation stops along with the cooling effect.
I haven't traveled a lot in my life, but I finally figured out how powerful an effect humidity has after my second trip to Utah. The difference is amazing and I'm really looking to get the heck out of the Midwest before I get too old. Utah is the dream, wifey is open to change.
Out here, on the B, best bet to survive hot weather is put the stock windshield on during the summer months to get some evaporation. And, as always, seat beads!
Has anyone on the east coast tried the cool vest? With the humidity I think it would work but how much?
I purchased a veskimo and used it in 2010 it worked but took a bag of ice at every fuel stop from Tampa to Atlanta.
After Atlanta the heat wasn't an issue for me, so I didn't use it.
We finally got a break in middle east MO today. Mid eighties and lower humidity. My brother in law and I got up early and managed a couple hundred miles by 1:00 pm. Felt good.
That's hotter than the gates of hell according to the people in Maine.
