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.:thumbsup:

No helmet for me !!!! they just dont suit my image LOL i do wear a cotton toweling type head band and sometimes a baseball cap or both but i find cap tends to try and blow off when going fast - blow off my head - yiks sounds even worse !!! gets blown off, that sounds better :wub:

Do I need to get the spray plaster out?

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 :smile:

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!

In todays heat I doubt anything helps much at all!

Its not often you are (slightly) grateful to have a headwind
