Holy Cow! Over 50 miles in this humidity? I've been here my entire life and it still wipes me out. I think you made the right decision to not push on. You could have pushed yourself too much. I had a dance performance in an un-airconditioned gym on Friday and I'm still wiped out. I was suppose to do a ride in St. Louis yesterday but just couldn't do it. Tell me, how are you feeling today? I bet you are tired, aren't you? The humidity has been unreal this week. Heat index has been way over 100 for several days.
Instead of I failed, how about renaming this thread "I'm smart". Pyannyplayer was at that ride. Maybe you could pm her and see how it went with others?
Here at TE we never allow others to think they fail, and we encourage bike purchases!
Edit: Oh, yeah, and of course, I just have to say it..."It's not the heat, it's the humidity!" Welcome to Missouri!
