Is it just me? When I ride my bike in 30+ sunny hot weather for at least 3-4 hours I drink as much drinks as if I was playing a game of soccer, I mean like at least 6 bottles of water/soda, all of this without sweating.

You are the only one; a beautiful and unique snowflake.

Actually in this case you may really be, since caffeine is a diuretic you should be pissing buckets with 6+ bottles of pop.

Pretty sure I got mine at a rally.
You may get it at Port Diver on the 13th.
Oh and I heard Willie G is going to be at Dover on the 13th if anyone cares

Does anyone here use those coolant scarves, and if so do they work well? where can you get them in the GTA?

I use an evaporative vest I purchased from Bike Bandit. The key is to close down all the vents on the jacket so the vest evaporates slowly. Opening all the vents up simply dries the vest out in 20 minutes. I think the vest works well for me and allows me to go fully geared up regardless the temperature. Obviously, the vest works only when you are moving but it still provides a measure of comfort when standing in traffic.
