I've ridden in 100+ temps before and though it's not fun, this was borderline scary what happened yesterday. Definitely not going out in that kind of heat again any time soon.
Sorry to hear about your hot weather ride symptoms but glad it wasn't worse. Heat stroke/sunstroke is no joke - it can mess you up for long time.
