7AM- 70 Degrees!

[1FJEF]

Just got back from an 8 mile ride to the store & back, I could feel the slight chill leave the air & the temp climb as I rode. Yesterday I rode down to the post office real quick to catch the 5PM mail, I'm sitting down afterwards & feeling not quite right. All of the sudden I realize I'm friggin' cookin'. I checked the temp, 102!
A/C on, fan pointed straight at me, Shaved Ice Tea flavored punch whipped up in the blender, head stuck under the shower head for a quick blast & all is well. You've gotta watch that heat.

hydrate my friend.

Adult human males should be consuming approximately 3 litres of water per day.

And don't ride in over 90degrees! This morning, 3:20AM, it's 75 degrees!

Your kidding !!!

Last summer in China, we rode 17 miles around Songshunhu - it was 95°F/95%rH - I put away a LOT more than 3 litres of water that day.

Holy cow! Yes definitely drink water, if you still feel low on energy make up something equivalent to electrolytic drink.

95D/95%? Forget about it. Not gonna happen with me.
By the way, 7:20PM, 97D/20%H. (but heat index says it feels like 93!)

Off topic, but 1FJEF, are you a Pixies fan by any chance?

The band or the little ethereal creatures that dance about in the morning mist with impish intent?

I'll be da*ned, I've never heard that. Good find!
I am Jef with one f. At the range they would call "Jeff!" on the P.A. & two of us would respond, so the range master started calling me 1F as he'd seen the spelling on a scorecard.
No Pixies when I lived in England, Top of The Pops was spewing out Bay City Rollers (I still remember them lip sync'ing "The Night Chicago Died"), Cliff Richards was everywhere & the Old Grey Whistle Test was wallowing in rapture over Tubular Bells.
