dangerous heat

Andrea, you're a masochist.

Last year I rode the most miles during the 2 week heatwave. Can't get excited about it thus far.

Out West here, its hot but we do not have the humdity like you guys. So my riding has been limited to the trainer in the AM. I do this in the severe winter and when the weather is too hot to be outside, like anything over 100 degrees.

After riding the trainer all winter last year, when I did go for a ride, I was totally amazed at my riding. I was stronger and could push harder where I could not before. I hope I see the same thing again here too.

I've not ridden all week. It's not as hot as Las Vegas though. Temps were 113 F and dropped to 100 F by 9 p.m.

I did 40 miles yesterday. The last 20 miles were brutal, with me coming close to overheating a few times on longer hills.

This weather is why I left Florida. Ugh

Grey, your avatar cracks me up. I read your post with Oscar's voice in my head, lol.

It was 97 degrees today with 100% humidity here along the Texas Gulf Coast.

This is a brutal time of year for outdoor bike riding.

I like the idea of putting a frozen bike bottle of water in the back pocket to help keep cool. Excellent idea! :0)

I get to race in Nashville on Saturday- 45 miles starting at 11:35. My arch nemesis will be there...
She is the Lance to my Jan.
