The Heat Is on In Florida

June and early July Is the hottest part of the Florida summer. The Regular afternoon storms and the daily Sea breeze Is not happening yet, nothing to cool us down. Today like yesterday was a ballpark 95 degree's, feels like's running 102ish' Yeah Yeah I know the western heat Is hotter, dryer and can kill you faster and all that.
But It seems the Humidity here hides early heat stroke symptoms to many untill It's just too late.

The weather man was saying people should stay Indoors today, no strenuous exercise, Do you think I'd listen ? Naw,, course not ..

My point to this rambling you ask ?

Being In Shape and knowing how to hydrate really wipes out all the over 50 complaints and gripes I tell ya !

I took my Recumbent out In the peak heat of the day, 1 pm, blazing sun, not much breeze, just thick sticky, soupy humid heat.

I warmed up my engines and shoveled on the coals, Took my self up to max Q and held it for most of my 12 mile local loop, slowing only for traffic.

I'm Good,,,,,

Just sayin,,
