SIUP 
I went to the pool today, the water was a refreshing 93 degrees. It is insanely hot. We need clouds and rain for a few days

'cause I rode Whistler on the hardtail all day yesterday, and my body hurts now.
I was hanging out at the lake and building a raised garden bed.
I was abducted by aliens and subjected to an anal probe.
Well....they said they were aliens....but they had british accents. And they drove a van with no windows....hmm.....come to think of it......dang.....not again...

It's like I get when I hear someone taking their family vacation to the Texas coast.Still

Not really complaining, just not riding. When you spend all week out in it because you have to you tend to be a little more reluctant to go play in it when it hits the triples.Still

As much as it pains me to say this... that Spring Break was pretty cool.It's like I get when I hear someone taking their family vacation to the Texas coast.
Pvssy.
did an EMT Standby at a showgrounds today it was 98* Having BBQ'd steak and Corn on the cob while waiting for it to cool down enough to hit the trails
Someone called the Wambulance for this thread.
I did 5 2hr rides this week all in the high 90's.
I was hitting the water slide and the lake.
I was at work. 
I workied at a shelter doing volunteer stuff, then had a burrito and hit the pool w/ my gromms.
minus all the "safety checks", 45 minutes.
I rode yesterday. As a matter if fact, I was JRA on a flat trail, hit a little rock, and crashed into the bushes. Wife was trailing behind a little bit, and when she caught up, I was crashed on the side of the trail in the bushes. She was all "WTF there's no rock there."
Sucks, it was a perfect 70 yesterday so I went riding and surfing 
Sorry...
Sorry...
Ba-Zing!!!!
Yeah, I get amused at the local TV stations warning you to stay inside and to run the AC. HTF did we make it all those 1000s of years without AC? Modern society is for pvssyies.
Meh...I pulled 5 8-9 hour days on the farm where we hauled in over 3 thousand pounds of red potatoes, 1000 pounds each of 3 different kinds of onions, 50 20lb boxes of various tomatoes as well as weed, cultivate, prep seed beds, plant. All this with 0 shade, none, nada and in any weather. This last week was so hot that we lost 8 chickens. The day I posted this was the only weekend day of riding I've missed in of couple months.
What's your A/C set at in the jewelry store?
Actually, last week was the first time I opened the A/C vent into the studio. The heat doesn't bother me like it used to. Might have something to do with losing 48 llbs. and not being so insulated.Meh...I pulled 5 8-9 hour days on the farm where we hauled in over 3 thousand pounds of red potatoes, 1000 pounds each of 3 different kinds of onions, 50 20lb boxes of various tomatoes as well as weed, cultivate, prep seed beds, plant.

Mmmm, fresh veggies.
it been in the high 90s here for almost 11 days now, with humidity that's crazy. So I've started riding with bags of ice in my jersey pockets... that does a great job keeping you cool
Quit taunting me.
I always fill my Camelbak about 1/2 full of ice. 3 liters will get me 3 hours of riding on a hot day. Ice or not...the last sip is never cold.
People weren't generally 90 pounds over weight.
Did a 5 hour ride on sunday. As the temps pushed 100 I had to slow myself as I felt like my brain was frying. I've pushed the limits of heat stroke enough to realize feeling chilled in such conditions is a sign to back off a little.
