Tired of the heat!!!!

[Dogmama]

Hubby and I took a fantastic trip to the southwest US (my first time there) this past May, and I fell in love with the dry heat. Did that ever feel good! We did tons of hiking in six different national parks and a couple of state parks, and I rarely even noticed any sweat. Here, I drip from my face, nose, hair is completely soaked after jogging, hiking, or riding. Ick, ick, ick!

May is nice. C'mon out in July/August. There is no heat index - it IS 115 degrees! The sun is relentless. Turn on your oven to 400 degrees and stick your head in it. That's Tucson. The pavement will give you second degree burns, so don't fall over.

I've been here 45 years. It never gets easier.

I'm in Western Illinois. We had a delightfully nice day with the highs in the low 80s. I celebrated the beautiful day and my birth month by riding my first Century. I didn't break any records but with my Significant Other (who rode his 75th consecutive month of centuries) who patiently coached me on, I managed to complete it in 8.5 hours and an average speed of 12 MPH. We rode Catrikes, he a Speed and I a Pocket. I'm sunburned, sore and stiff. and never felt better in my entire life.

I used to like the heat. We raced in 112 degree heat today. We're not used to this in Northern California (especially those of us who live coast-side). It was brutal. Women were literally melting.

Wow. I've always hated the heat, would have been happy to whine about it hitting 97 in Seattle yesterday, 95/humid today, but am much impressed that velogirl and co. were actually able to race in 112 degrees. I could never have done it. Hoping everyone came through it okay!

106º here today. Unbelievable. 97º in Seattle? Crazy. It's 11:23 and still 86º out. I think I will get up at 6 for a quick ride with the cows.
