It's been so humid here in SC it's downright draining when we ride. (Try 83 - 87 degrees with 73% humidity) But we're getting ready for the 4th of July ride in Tryon, NC so we figure it's good training. The last several days have been cloudy because of the tropical system coming out of the Gulf, but when the sun does come out it's like riding into a wall-o-heat and it feels like my tires are suddenly gumming up in syrup and I'm slowing waaayyyyy down.
I drink constantly on these rides and we take more frequent breaks...every 7 miles or so. If only I could keep my water cold.
Is there a water bottle out there better than a polar bottle? I just love it when my water assumes road temp and tastes like...the bottle!
What are you doing for the 4th?
