Not weird normal. The wind is evaporating the sweat as you ride keeping you cool. When you stop your body is still sweating, but there is no wind to evaporate it.

If you get sweat in your eyes get a helmet with more vents. I recently switched to the Propero II and it's a thing of the past!

Try a thin buff or skull cap to help with sweat absorption.

Helmet shmelmet, if you wear a cotton cap you'll be fine fine.

Hey - I spent a lot of time cultivating this slap head and I'm not about to ruin all that work by sticking a covering back over it!

I wear a cap and it tends to stay on cos I put my hair up and shove it through the hole in the back seems to keep the cap from flying off

Same as me..
Helmet's are, and look crap.... A cap or buff or both is all you need to keep sweat out of ones eyes.

I use a regular fore-arm wipe of the brow.
This has the added effect of keeping my fore-arm/s cool
But with me it tends to not work when the fore arm is sweaty too!
In this weather User76 has been put on short rations as to what assorted crap she is allowed to dump in the trailer with her - today the only thing not vetoed was Clarence & her water bottle! She was also banned from shoving a huge pile of shells & pebbles from the beach in it. This also had a downside as it meant we were lacking int eh crabbing line & bucket department on the river - but hey ho!
