I ride a bike on the road all the time. I sweat my arse off when it's 68 degrees in my house and I'm on the trainer. When I get out on the road and lets say it's 85 degrees, I barely sweat because of the air flow. And that's exerting a good bit of energy burning damn near 2000 calories. Not saying its heaven for the dog, but I don't think it's going to cook to death.

You are sweating it's just evaporating quickly due to the airflow, this the appearance of not sweating.

If be willing to wager you have evaporative cooling going on, something the dog can't enjoy.

One of my dogs had a heat stroke when he was maybe 8 months old.

Ever since then, if it breaks 65 you have to keep him from running. If it breaks 80, he has to be kept inside in AC.

Poor guy has literally gasped until dropping blood from his mouth as we tried to cool him with ice alcohol and constant water.

Most dogs with shorter snouts have a helluva time regulating temperature.
