August 9th Rides (Sunday)

Hey kjb,
I feel you on the heat today. I got a 50mi ride in, but not before the heat index reached some really uncomfortable levels. I felt ok on the ride, but was exhausted once I got home! I've been drinking water all day like its going out of style to replenish, because boy was I sweating like a pig out there . . .

It's sweltering here (heat index up to 100 degrees) but I still managed 11 miles

I'm impressed that those of you who live in the southwest ride in this weather all the time! It's exhausting!

I live in Las Vegas and this weekend was a really nice weather. Mornings was in high 70's and between 80's and 90's by afternoon then up to around 100. No humidity at all. Fab time to ride...and I rode Friday, Sat, and Sunday total of 56.17 mi.

I think it pretty much depends on how early you get up and ride. It can get a little cold in the mornings, and it's the best time to do it before the sun beats down on you.

11 pm in Chi and it's still 80 degrees. What's this all about, beloved city? Tomorrow looks like it'll be cooler, but I have been dragging all day from the ride - only 1/3 of my normal distance. Should probably head out a few hours earlier. Maybe it'll actually rain tonight and cut some of this nasty humidity. . .
