It's been a complete beat down this year. Usually I don't even think about it, but for some reason it just seems worse up here in Dallas.
I am SO HAPPY the "cold" front blew through last night! Only see 92 degree temperatures for a few days will be dreamy.
Personally, I have just been riding in the heat. My performance is suffering (aka: I'm slower), but I am fine if I'm moving. It's sitting at stop lights that beats me down.
I know that cold water saves me on hot days. My Camelbak will keep ice in it for a good 2 hours.
