MAN!! I must be addicted!! I mean who rides in that????

Running Mommy,
I ride in that too. My Pecos rout is steaming hot. On Sunday I thought that I would collapse considering that I am pregnant now. I did 26 miles and I was dizzy for the rest of the day. I guess I will spin indoors today and back on the road tomorrow at 5 am. Do we have a choice? Not until the end of September.

Ohhh Lenusik BE CAREFUL!!! Esp. w/ a baby on board!! Lise our resident baby expert will be wagging her finger at you I'm sure.
I'm just a nut job without good sense!! But your a mom w/ some precious cargo!! That heat is brutal. I could only imagine what it's like riding when your pregnant. OY!
I didn't ride back when I was pregnant but I actually had to stop running. I lost what would have been Spencers twin, so my doctor put me on the "nothing more strenuous than walking" plan.. UGH!! That was the one thing I hated about being pregnant! I would look at runners longingly. But as soon as I could I was out w/ him strapped in the baby jogger- 6 weeks if I remember correctly. And I had a C-section!!
Stay safe, and COOL!!

DH and i rode 34 miles yesterday, stopped twice at convenience stores just for water and ice in bottles, the water in the bottles goes from icy to just plain hot within about 20 minutes. and they're polar bottles! would get just to the brink of bonk and shovel in hammer gel to get another half hour. it's miserable. but here we get the best bike tans, don't we denise?????

Man do I feel like a wimp! Today was humid and a whopping 88 degrees so I declined to ride. I gotta get a stronger constitution! Of course, I don't think it's too cold to ride when it's 40 out . We are expecting storms for the rest of the week. I really am getting out there to ride tomorrow. I rode across Michigan in late June and have been a slug since then. Shame on me!!!

Hey pink bike... Would you also have an alias and say... live in scottsdale??
I think that bike looks familiar!!!
Is IMFL on your horizon?? are you riding like a big dog and logging some serious miles these days??

And yeah, we do get FIERCE tans out here! Of course some would call us skin cancer suckers.. sigh... But I do like my shade of brown...

Y'all are missing out on some great winter riding! It feels great to talk about it now, when it's so hot. Last winter, the coldest I rode in was 19F with a foot of snow (studded tires). As long as you have the right clothes, it's just plain fun (and the bike paths are completely YOURS!)

But back to the current heat...it's cooled off here, and is less humid than last week. I rode in 100F last Tuesday, but very slowly (commute from work). The pollution was bad, it was a Code Red day, but I tried not to work out too much, just get home. Things are better now, at least for the time-being.

I did a double take when I read your question Denise, but PinkBike's bike is a trek and Melisa's is something else (I totally forgot! ).... It is a pretty close color match though...
