Days between hard/long efforts

Have you thought about a hydration pack? When it is hot I tend to drink more which helps keep me cool, if I wear my Camelbak. Also ice in the bra and wet cool wings help. Have a great ride.

Unfortunately, I have neck issues. At that distance, the weight on my shoulders would exacerbate the neck problems, so I can't wear one. Plus, in that kind of heat I think I'd roast in a Camelback.

I *love* the ice in the bra suggestion, though. I'm sure I'll have ample opportunity to try that one out!

Susan-

How 'bout the waist camelbak? Like a fanny pack...just another thought...and way cooler than a regular one

Good luck, in any case

The ride organizer cancelled the ride due to expected high temps (100+ degrees expected as a day time high.) Phooey! He's rescheduled for the last weekend in September, which is when Interbike is (our annual cycling trade show), so I won't be able to do it. I'm totally bummed. It looked to be an incredibly beautiful ride.

Guess I can do a 10 mile run tomorrow a.m. after all.

I think it is smart, the run at vineman in 95-100 degree weather was brutal and I think they should have cancelled it. We athletes don't always make great decisions since we are so "perseverant", to a fault.
I am sorry you'll miss it in September though.
