dangerous heat

**sundial** · 07-31-2008, 01:42 PM

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.

On Saturday the heat index will be 102 F by noon and 106 F by 3 p.m.

I'll be thinking of you as I relax in the comforts of air conditioning.

Uh, changing that to 116 F heat index.

Please be careful if you are riding today.
