Good to hear your bike ride went well.

I did a ride in similar temps in January... I've never been so happy to get into my house!!!! It was 39C!!! This summer perhaps I won't bike in anything over 38C...

Good luck on the Amtrak Century...Where does it take you?

As we rode into our neighborhood I started fishing for the garage remote out of the back of Dh's jersey so I could open it as soon as humanly possible. As soon as I saw our house I said, "There's my house! That's my house! It's cool in my house. I'm going in my house. I have a house and it's cool and I'm going to be in it."

I kept saying all that as I walked in and fell over on the floor.

Today I was at the show grounds in San Jaun Capistrano where my daughters are doing a horse show this weekend. It was 108 and I think it promises to stay about that throughout the weekend. Ah yes. It will be a lovely weekend.

By the way, the Amtrak century starts in Irvine, CA and goes down to San Diego. Then you take the train back, hence the name.

jiffer... good news... I live in San Diego and the temps for next Sat are supposed to be back into the low to mid-80's! Plus you'll have breeze on the coast...

the only real climb is Torrey Pines... and if you're already doing 3500ft in a ride, you'll totally be fine! I ride the coast regularly and the route is not bad at all...

hope you have a great century and a fun and safe ride!
