heatwave alternatives
Yes, Sundial . . . I'll use my trainer on Thursday. I have it set up in my basement where it is cool. My Lab/Rottie and Golden will lie on the cool concrete floor while I do my 45 minute workout. I have a kayak and I also do a lot of forest trail hiking. I may do two things that day in an attempt to get my "bikie high". Adapting to the situation is required here. The heat is so unbelievably dangerous that keeping the same routines can lead to getting sick. I look forward to cooler weather and getting back on my trek 1500.

It's 103 (record high for this date) with a heat index of 115 here in central NC as I write this from work. I am NOT looking forward to walking in the parking lot today on my way to my car. Riding is simply out of the question.
Longing for fall,

We cancelled our regular group ride yesterday & rescheduled it for tomorrow - when the temperature is forecast to be a "chilly" 95....
100 degrees here right now - not sure if it is a record or not. Leaving the office in 5 minutes.....

I'm in Indiana too, and I just picked up a new bike, but I can't fathom getting out there in this heat. The gym is my friend too, and I'll enjoy my new bike when I can actually enjoy it.

It was NASTY here today - Emily is right!! The worst part is the air quality, though. We've been under an air stagnation warning for most of the week. Not good for the lungs to exercise. YUCK!!!

I headed out for a ride at 5:30 this morning. It was a 'cool' 80. I can't ride as long as I normally would, but at least it's a ride.
