Wear a wet wicking T-shirt and carry extras in a plastic bag for long rides (thanks Drew!).

Here's some tips:

The first article was a very easy but informative read. This time of the year I wear a 1 liter camelback to work, every day, and for my 60-80 minute commute it does okay. This is also the time of the year I wish lane splitting, like on the west coast, was legal. Just sayin...
