It wasn't brutally hot on the Saturday ride. I won't ride today though. Too hot for me even to attend WOI.

Rode to Alexandria for a CMA rally with BusaDave and rode around a bit after for some photo tagging. Did around 400 total for the weekend.
Man it was windy saturday!

I took a leisurely ride mid day - around 150 miles of suspension tuning.
Evaporative cooling vest, wet bandana, drinking plenty of water while riding, and stoping in Air Conditioned gas stations for Gatorade all made for a non-eventful day.
The biggest aha, was every time I'd climb out of a small valley I'd hit a wall of heat at least 10 degrees warmer than the floor of the valley.

About 230 miles on Sat once I finally took off around 2pm. Maybe like 140 or so yesterday after leaving the house at 4pm. Wasn't too bad at all. New jacket flows a lot more than it seemed like it would. Stay moving, stay cool.
Didn't ride today because my wife had the day off from work and we don't get a bunch of together time during the week since I'm gone for most of it.

Construction traffic on a bike = suicide

Saturday from Wyoming to Hastings to have Glenn at Midnight MC true up the front axle for the race bike and some good conversation. Then over the river to Prescott at about 3PM and north to Hudson via Co Rd F. There is an awesome 1.5 miles of that road, otherwise it was hotsuck.
Sunday from Wyoming to Lake Calhoun for Wheels of Italy. Spent about 45 mins there, then whatever was the fastest straightest path home, to hide indoors for the rest of the afternoon, evening, night watching Moto GP, F1, Playstation, anything other than being outdoors anymore.
