Rider lost in Death Valley due to the high temperatures

As the title says, I heard on the news today that a motorcycle rider died from the excessive heat in Death Valley.  Be careful guys.  Drink plenty of water.

I hear that once you start to feel thirsty, it is already too late...dehydration already has set in.  Definitely hydrate all day long.  Be safe not just on riding, but also for your physical well being.

On long trips where there may be long gaps of open road, I'll have a camel pack with me. When it's 100+ here in Houston you could lose a lot of water through sweat quickly. I've got about an hour ride home and several times have had to stop to get some water or Gatorade. Sometimes you just need to stop more often than with every tank of gas.
