106 predicted high tomorrow, here.
Still 92 at 10:30pm.
Surprisingly acclimated, though.
Will be riding in the heat of the day again, maņana.
Good news is that I saw a female cyclist leaving downtown on Wed afternoon, wearing teeniny running shorts, bikini top, helmet, and cycling sandals. Taking the lane on the Congress Bridge in rush hour on her commuter Surly w/ panniers. Good to see.
Also, yesterday, my wife rode everywhere in her bikini, helmet, and Vibram FiveFingers. She said it was too hot for anything else. Rode all over town and to her checkup/appt at her dr.'s.

At least we have women cycling in the heat here in austin......
