I suggest getting a hammock or tarp and driving to Colorado :-)

Doing this in 5 weeks!

Thanks for the tips folks.  I may just not be cut out for summer, even though I'm a native.

DZNuts has been pretty good for me so far.  Chamois cream with an antiseptic.  The tingling is a bit odd at first, but it kinda helps you feel cool down there.  If you've got a bad saddle sore though, then best thing to do is just not ride and let it heal for a bit.  You don't want to make it worse!

A hammock isn't a bad idea, not sure why I didn't consider that.  Thanks!

I live in Central Texas, and it's already in the upper 90's creeping ever closer to triple digits.   angry4  As far as cold weather camping goes, I've got that covered.  But what do you do when it's hot?!  Assuming it's a calm night, it may not get below 80.  There's no point in taking a 20 degree bag out on a night like that, and there's barely any point in even trying to cover up!  So what do you sleep in/on?  I've got a $5 tube tent to keep bird crap off my face, and a light sleeping pad, but what else?  Do you even bother?

Oh yeah, first post.  Hi.
