[razzing mode on] Aw, y'all are wimps! We've had 76 days this summer with 3-digit temperatures. [razzing mode off]

One thing I've found is that to adequately hydrate, I need to start drinking water the night before, and the same goes for carb loading. I don't eat or drink anything the hour before I ride because it upsets my stomach and gut. (I think the queasiness is due to my body being so dedicated to cooling itself when I ride that the contents of my stomach don't get digested properly, if at all.)
