So I told Tony I was going for a ride, threw on my shorts, jog bra, the coolest top I could find (read: MESH) filled the camelbak and out I went. It was HOTTTTTTTT... But not so bad. The sun sets here around 7:30 so I had my blinkys on after about a half hour, even chatted with a mtn biker about some local trails on the way back in. I tried to take a picture of the sunset but my camera is dead. Must be a casualty of the dust storm.. ugh...
Just came in after a hot hour in the saddle, grabbed a fresh cool bottle of water, some ice for my neck- must cool down core- and I came up to check the weather.
Here she is... So I rode somewhere between 118 and this:
Wind Calm Temp 111F Humidity 11% Dewpoint 44F Pressure 1004.0 mb

MAN!! I must be addicted!! I mean who rides in that????
You KNOW it was hot out when you pull your bike in and it smells like burning rubber!!!

Okay, I couldn't resist that last post! Great job Denise - I wish I had that much dedication! Its been about 112 over here and very humid; I start to have sweat run down my back just standing outside for a few minutes... I have not been on my bike much in this stuff There isn't really anywhere near my house to ride safely at night so I'm gonna try to ride tomorrow morning (at 9am though, so it might be pretty warm by then).

Can you see any actual heat damage/wear on your tires?... just curious
