Seems to be cooler here in San Bruno. Just got back from a ride and it wasn't too bad between 3-5pm. There was a nice breeze at times too.

I did get a ride in today, but I went during the hottest time of the day ... 11-2 ... it was probably 90. Didn't have much energy in my legs ... maybe it was the intensity of the heat????

It was soooo friggin' hot in Scotts Valley, and going up Mt. Charlie was brutal. Someone said their computer temp read 102 F ! :eek:

My computer showed 103 heading up Dublin Canyon and Foothill Rd in Pleasanton today, but I take that with a grain of salt. It was probably only about 95. :p

Anyone else notice anything with the jerseys? They conduct heat like a cast iron pot.

Not that I'm complaining. I just think we didn't even think about the color thing when choosing colors.

Yeah I finally figured out the bikejournal interface. I still log primarily to activebody.org because it has running, cycling, and swimming (for if I ever start swimming). There's a bikeforums "team" on there too.

Just an observation ... we really start our rides late in NorCal. In SoCal, started ride at 8 am, and got finished by 12:30 PM ... and that was a modest 41 miler!

No Steve, the same ride that YOU would start at 9 am would be finished by noon. But we did stop for about 30 minutes at Goldstein's Bagel's, so if it weren't for that, we'd be finished by noon :D

I think AltoVelo would have finished the ride by 11 am.
