Tired of the 100 degree + days!

[Loraura]

I try to remember that with the heat, generally, comes less wind.

It's routinely 103, 104 real temp (not heat index) here in Austin this summer. To battle it:

I ride in the AM and between 7:30-9PM when I can. I do commute home in the heat of the day though.
I drink lots of water every day, even if I don't ride.
I use Nuun on the bike in one bottle. Makes a huge difference in my comfort in the heat.
I don't hammer in the heat. Ride, yes. Hammer? No.
I seem to drink more on the bike when I have a camelback. It's just easier, so I drink more. This helps.
Shadey routes rock.
Take breaks (in the shade).
Never pass up an opportunity to refill the water bottles.
Insulated bottles rock. Hot water sucks.

P.S I didn't notice you were in Austin, too, untill after I posted. *waves from Anderson Mill/183*
