I used to live in Pasadena ... I think my body has wimped out, after 8 years in the bay area ... I used to think 90 is nothing, 100, still go out. In fact, I went out playing tennis in 2nd stage smog alert ... but now??? what a wimp!

Yep, 101 in Sacramento. More like 140 on the pavement. 
It didn't feel bad on the way home, though, to be honest.

As I left the office, some guy on the sidewalk yelled at me "Make sure you drink!"
Must have been another cyclist....

Rode up to the school at Montebello Road and then turned around instead of heading all the way to the gate at the top. Fortunately, I started the ride at 6:15, so the heat was starting to die down and much of Montebello Road is shaded. We've been pretty lucky lately with the relatively cool weather.

Weather.com is calling for about the same temps today as yesterday. Buh-bye, spring weather!

The nice thing is that the heat is cyclic, at least around here. Give it a couple of days, and we'll have a marine layer and cool breezes again for a little bit.
I'm scratching my noon ride today - gonna read a book in the cafeteria and see what kind of fashion show the hot weather produces........

Oh man, it was mid 70s when I left at 6:40 this morning. That does not bode well for this afternoon. And tonight is office softball at 6pm, should be well over 100 then.

The relative lack of traffic on Montebello (barring the occasional Fast and the Furious wannabee) is a nice respite from the more congested routes in the valley.

If I'd known it was going to be that hot I don't think I would have gone out and done 80 miles yesterday. By mile 60 I thought I was going to vomit. It didn't help that the water stop on Cañada (between 92 and Edgewood) was closed. 
Hey Spingineer, nice to see another Axiom rider. Ain't Ti great?

I'm not sure how hot it was on the ride home from work - but I only suffered when I was stopped by red lights.
