What is up everybody? Time to do an updated video of the top five hot weather riding tips because getting a get taught down here too, son. And the reason why I say this is an updated video is because I am going to be teaching and coaching this summer at RideAzoneFTC and I'm going to tell you what, I'm going to need these tips myself and I'm going to need to stay hydrated, which we'll talk about that soon. Alright, so guys, we're going to talk about the top five hot weather riding tips. If you like this kind of stuff, please click subscribe. And like I said, I'll be coaching for RideAzoneFTC this summer. I work for them now, I'm coaching for them now. I already have a very coached one class for them, I'm going to coach more. And if you want to take some classes, go down to RideAzoneFTC. We have an Phoenix, Cassandra Grants, your Avista Tucson, ask for me. I'll see if I can make it out there. But with that said, let's go ahead and jump to the top five hot weather riding tips. Buzz! Alright, so number one, cover up. Now if you're doing at that all the gear all the time, you should be pretty covered, right? I'm pretty covered, but here's the thing. These little holes in my mess jacket because you're going to be wearing a mess jacket during the summer, because you want air flow. I've gotten little tiny dot sunburns. So underneath this jacket, cover up and wear a long sleeve. Now does that sound kind of counterintuitive? Kind of, but here's the thing is, if I don't wear a long sleeve and I'm just having the air flow go through here, one, I'm going to get sunburns, little baby sunburns. And two, if I sweat, the evaporation is going to go quick, right? Like I'm going to be dehydrated. We're going to talk about drinking water, and that's pretty obvious. But I'm going to be super dehydrated because all the sweat just evaporates immediately. Immediately. So if you have a long sleeve, it's going to trap that moisture, and it's going to keep it closer to your skin, and then the wind is going to cool down your wet long sleeve. And I say wet, it's just warm sweat, whatever. You're not soaking wet, hopefully or not. And it's going to keep you cooler longer. There's some products out there like underarmors, hot gear, underarmor, you know, just like stuff like that that really help out. But here's the thing is just, if wear something underneath it, maybe it's something super light. I'm not talking like a wool blanket. I'm talking like just a super thin long sleeve that will absorb the water, and it won't make it so it evaporates quicker, because you can literally evaporate all your moisture super quick while riding. Another thing is you sunblock. Right now I got exposure on the back of my neck, which if you guys have been riding for any length of time, especially in the summertime or any time out in the road, you're going to get like this nice ring around your neck. And see it's sunburned. I mean, you don't want to get skin cancer, especially out here in the Arizona's, because we get crazy, crazy sun exposure. So you sunblock. There's nothing wrong with using sunblock. There's some moisturizing sunblock. It's great. And on top of that, use chapstick. Maybe surprise, but lips are chapped. I'm all the wind. So use chapstick. Now here we go, drink water. It's pretty self-explanatory, but here's the thing. Your body's made up with a lot of water. Okay, your body needs water to function. Your brain needs water to function. Your organs need water to function. Your muscles need water to function. You need electrolytes, certain electrolytes, sodium potassium for your body and heart, and all that stuff to function. But the main thing is water. You're going to be evaporating a lot. So you're going to be getting rid of a lot of moisture by riding. So you're going to need to drink water. Drink plenty of water. And yeah, you know if you had to go with a bathroom break, go to the bathroom break. That's the cool thing is that you can take some some breaks, which once again, we'll talk about pretty soon. So, drink some water, take a break, go pee, relax. And drink enough to where you're not thirsty anymore. If you're starting to get thirsty, if you're starting to get thirsty, then you are behind the eight ball. Drink some water. You don't have to have clear urine. You don't have to have clear urine. That's that you're drinking a lot at that point, which is great, but you don't need to. Maybe like a light yellow. One thing you don't want to have is dark brown. That's like Coca-Cola. That right there, go to the hospital. You're going to get your kidneys checked. You probably get some rapdo or some kidney failure going on there. Another thing is avoid caffeine. I personally love caffeine. I'm always hopped up on caffeine. I have about 600 milligrams a day, five to 600 milligrams of caffeine a day. It's how I function. It's what I do. I love it. Live left love caffeine. Anyways, try to avoid it. It's diuretic. It's a diuretic. And it's something bad. But you know what? If you're going to be drinking caffeine, compensate it with some water. If you're going to drink caffeine, compensate it with a like a mixture of gatorade, slash water, because gatorade and water has a little bit of carbs, which will increase your glycogen stores. If you don't already have them full, and that right there is going to help hold water. And that right there is going to help hold a few things so you get less fatigue. Plus it has electrolytes like sodium potassium, magnesium, all that stuff. And like I said, it's very important because when you sweat, you release that kind of stuff. And if it's the diuretic, you're going to release it in the urine. You're going to release it in your skin. And you need that for proper heart function and a few organs to function. So that's why electrolytes are so cool. And I learned that as an EMT. Lactated ringers and all that stiffs. Anyways, the next thing. Rest and recover. Guys, if you're out riding in the hot summer and you start feeling fatigued, that could be a sign of heat exhaustion. Now there's heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heat stroke. Heat cramps is when you start getting cramps. And as simple as that, you start getting the cramps, breath. Heat exhaustion is when you start feeling a little bit less like yourself and more so like you just worked out like crazy. Your brain function's not going to be as great. Your muscle fatigue is going to be pretty terrible. And you're just going to have a bad time. And you start getting super dehydrated. Now heat stroke, hopefully you're not having a heat stroke on your motorcycle because you're pretty much screwed. Heat stroke is exactly what it sounds like. It's a stroke. That is a massive, fricking, thin. Wonder how fast that thing goes. Anyways, let's take a look at it again, guys. Anyways, heat stroke is very bad. At a heat stroke level, you need to go to the hospital. Heat exhaustion, you possibly just need to get a replacement of fluids. But most likely go to the hospital. Heat stroke on a bike, you're going to crash. So if you get to that point, if you get a heat stroke, you're in a world of hurt. People die from that all the time. And it can happen easily on a bike. Heat exhaustion can happen easily on a bike. You don't want to pass out or riding, right? So anyways, those are the five weather-rided tips. And I'll be teaching and coaching it. It's coaching. It's not teaching. I'll be coaching at Ride Arizona MTC down here in Tucson. I'm going to try it where I'm super close to. But if you guys are all in Phoenix, here's the thing. If you guys are all in Phoenix, you get a classical one together. And you're like, hey, I want Dan Dan to teach. Hey, I want to see Dan Dan. Hey, hi. I'll try my absolute best to make it up there. I promise. I'll try my best to make it up there. And that way I can come hang out with you guys, coach and do. And if I'm not even coaching, I'll just come hang out. I'll participate. It's a lot of fun. But with that said, hope you guys ride safe. Ride Arizona MTC asked for me, Trina Steve, Justin, Paul, everybody. Everybody there. I think there's definitely more people there. But anyways, I'll be seeing you guys later. I'm just riding around this neighborhood for funsies. Let's take a look at that spoiler again. See if I can get there within 20 seconds. That's the end card. Alright.
