if you have a light or 2 ride at night..........im trying that after i get my bike back from the shop
do some early AM rides.
We had our heat wave about 2 weeks ago.....
here are some tips...
- drink tons the 24 hours before.
- on climbs spin very very conservatively.
- pack an extra jersey or T shirt, gloves, and towel.
.....feels great to change into dry stuff halfway through......

I finally decided to suck it up and it has been nice. I've been riding to work daily with temps being over 100 all last week. I am no slave to AC.
dammit!!! MizN8 rode this midmorning so now I guess I have to too...

Ride to 'em.N8 said:
I used to really enjoy nightrides when I lived in NVA and could hit up Wakefield/Accotink after work with buds. Up here in Fredneck, though, people'd look at me like I just bit the head off a squirrel whenever I asked if anyone was up for a night ride in the 'shed. Yeah, you're technically not supposed to ride there at night, but Johnnie Law is present only very, very rarely and saying you "got lost and were frightened" usually gets you out of a ticket. Riding rocky, fast trails at night with lights is like riding Space Mountain...just the Scooby Doo with lights on, but scary with the lights off.
it's a whole 18 c here
nobody cares

No need to get cocky over it 64F
Heat index today is 110F... looks like I'll be riding at about 6:30ish... should be a little cooler then I hope.

(*Cx9/5)+32=*F
you'll be able to tell now
I'm fixing to ride home, its 99 feels like 103. just makes my tepid house feel that much cooler when I finally get there.
laura said:
That is one good thing about sweating it out I suppose...
103F and the Heat Index is 102F (Humidity is only 21%)***
***It hasn't been as bad this year since we don't seem to be getting the gulf flow like usual.
