Hot

[Catrin]

We didn't have AC when I was a girl - but the 1960's were a different time. I still remember what those southern summers were like without it - one summer in particular

Bike Chick - I am impressed that you are heading out in such temps.

I WAS going for my weekly long ride yesterday - bumping it to 51 miles this week - but couldn't get out until 2:30 yesterday afternoon. 93 degrees, heat index >100 and a hot wind that felt straight out of an oven.

Made it to my starting point...was ready to step on the bike...and wimped...errrrr....got wise and put the ride off until this morning. I am stubborn, but it wasn't the weather to do my long ride in. Trying to raise my mileage base, NOT a trip to the ER for heat stroke! I do want to increase my heat tolerance but it seems wiser to do this by getting out before it is the hottest part of the day and ride while the temps rise.

Hope to get started between 7-7:30 this morning. It is already 79 degrees and the sun hasn't even come up yet!
