Pomme,

Try a vented helmet. Also, if you overheat quickly, take a bandanna and lightly soak it, fold it up, and put it up in the top of the helmet. Not so it's drippin all over ya though.

Should help to keep ya cool for a while.

It hits 120*F here in the summer (in the shade, and of course, I rarely work in the shade) and I've had to use soaked bandanna's in my helmet and around my neck to keep from overheating.

That and try drinking straight water in decent quantities. On a hot day I'll go through about 2 and a half gallons of water by myself.
