Nice ride in this morning although it'll be brutal this afternoon with temps around 98. So hot, in fact, that I left my helmet at home-I tend to get really overheated when the temps hit the upper 90's and figure I'll ride a little more cautiously and place a higher priority on avoiding temperature related illness instead.

Had some knucklehead pass without warning, while I was getting ready to pass a jogger. I caught him and suggested he announce his pass next time. His response was to get right on my wheel and catch a pull-some nerve. When I noticed this I put the hammer down and pulled away, he turned off shortly thereafter. Oh well...

Anyway, trying to stay super-hydrated today in anticipation of 2 days of 98 deg. temps. By the time I'm done w/ this I will be on my way to finishing 32 ozs. of Vitamin Water with my breakfast of yogurt, pineapple, and a banana muffin.
