I have a liter of Gatorade chilling in the fridge for the ride home... wish I'd brought an extra bandanna, they make good neck coolers. Oh well. Looks like the forecast has come down a bit though, only 27C predicted for this afternoon, and 31C tomorrow.
As for Stampeders... I'm planning to take the long way around!
Edited to add commuting content - nice ride home yesterday, a bit on the warm side but I took it easy and stopped in the shade a couple of times. Despite the heat, managed to get all the way up my one steep hill without stopping or walking the bike! REALLY nice ride in this morning, perfect temperature and traffic was pretty reasonable (was late starting out so took Elbow Drive again; ended up forming an impromptu peloton with a few other commuters, which was nice in terms of making all of us more visible to drivers, so we got more room than if we'd each been solo).
