Fill that camelbak with ice, put on a long sleeved white jersey and go ride. That's what I did today.

Yeah, I've been freezing the camel back and switching to that after the bottles run out, helps cool you and give ya cold water later in the ride. Also some good things I've found are Desoto Arm Coolers. They made them orginally for ironmans, but they are great for training, basically white thin arm warmers.

If you can do it, I sugest riding before work. I'm heading out at 5AM.

well, i cant ride after dark because my parents get pissed if i come home late like i did tonight... i walked in the door drenched in sweat from riding at 9:21...

i dont use a camelbak, i take a kick-ass snowboarding backpack with three straps (2 on the waist, one on the chest) and i put a giant one gallon bottle of Arrowhead in it and ride around lugging that, and monster T's... it REALLY takes it out of you...

i'm 14 and i DO have a very well paying job... cough20bucksanhourcough which is way better than mowing lawns like the rest of the 14 year olds that i know do... but the cool thing about my job is that theres no real schedule... you just have to show up and sand a few boards... eat,chill, sand some more,repeat... so riding before work can be like riding all day... not to be a dick or anything by mentioning that, but i just ahve a habit of describing things in depth...

WHO CAN RIDE TOMORROW AT LAKE CALAVERAS??? is anybody up for a ride in the later afternoon? i did go out there today and it was pretty bad but it was bearable if you took some breaks obviously.
i'm free after 1:00 so just post here if anybody wants to go... as i said to bjanga, i would like to meet some of the SD crew because i've only seen a handful of real riders and half of them i never saw again...

In Santa Barbara, a few weeks ago, it was 90* at 9:30pm. :hot:

I'm watching the Global Warming Show on Discovery.

I was in Fontucky last weekend on bussiness, and was going to try to get a few runs in at the DH course, then I checked the air temp. a cool 114 in the shade at California Speedway. I decided against riding that day.

You should have come by my place and drank beers instead. I'm only 10 mins from California Speedway.

Wish I'd known, we drove around Fontana for 30minutes trying to find a decent place to eat, ended up at Subway. As for beers we were well stocked, had four cases on ice in the back of my car.

Totally HOTT here in east TN. My wife just returned today from San Diego & said it was NOT as hot there- compared to here..More hazy hott still air & humidity here & 96* in the shade... I work 12 hours straight at a non-stop pace 3 days in a row here, & it is almost killing me.Loading helicopters tours..

Has anyone seen the Al Gore movie about global warming ?

Also, is there a variety of riding there in San Diego XC / DH/4x or is it not bike friendly there ??
Stay cool..

i made the dumbass decision to go riding at midday on saturday when it was around 110 out and guess what happened... i friggin fainted while pushing my bike up a chute, i woke up and i was all shaky and couldnt really move for around 15 minutes, it sucked.
first time i fainted in my whole 14 years of living.

i wanna see that movie about global warming so bad, its totally a movie i would watch... if youve ever seen me, you would most likely not expect that i know and care as much as i do about this worlds environment... i grew up at my grandparents and they taught me everything, i'm well brought up in the nature and eating category.

here in SD, theres everything, every type of riding... even snow riding if you hit palomar mountain in the winter. i like it
