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.

I'm sick o' the heat
My job today will be "keep the dog cool", 96 degrees is forcast in Hayweird, up from yesterday.
I'm skipping a planned 20 mile ride to make sure the mutt's ok which is of course most important.

The high yesterday at Camp Pendelton was 109, I think it was 104 when we rode through.
I honestly have no idea how I rode as far as I did yesterday in that heat. Tiff and I usually get up at 4:00 a.m. and ride shortly after 5:00 a.m. to avoid it, but this ride started at 10:00 a.m. It was my second longest ride ever (62 miles) and was definitely more hilly than the longest ride I've done, which was 64. Though it was fun...this ride reinforced my desire to rise and ride before the sun starts shining!

I don't know if this happens elsewhere, but many neighborhoods in CA have electrical outages during heatwaves. I guess we're using too much, or we're undersupplied. It's been hovering around 113 in my area and the electricity's gone out a couple of times. Yesterday it went out at 4pm and stayed off until 7am this morning.
There are worse things in life, but I'm behind in watching the TDF, darn it !!
