I did a short MTB ride yesterday. Garmin and strava site both say the average temp was 91/92 degrees. The 1,000 ft climb is mostly in the first 3 1/2 miles and it felt like 200 degrees. Not really that hot but when it goes from cool to hot, it seems to affect you more on the bike. Hopefully these hot but not so hot temps help acclimate me to the summer heat before it gets here.

My shades were thrashed with sweat and I had to pull over a couple of times to get the sweat out of my eyes, couldn't see and burned like a MOFO.
