Yesterday's ride home was brutal, the temp hovered near 100 but the humidity was, fortunately, not bad. I was fairly well hydrated and left my helmet and gloves at work, anything I could do to keep cool. I did a couple of laps around the parking deck to loosen up a little then climbed the ramp, right into the oven. My face puckered like a prune, eyes squinting, they stayed that way for half the ride. I took it easy, saw only one other cyclist whom I drafted for a while, and really started dragging near the end. Once I got home I drank my Endurox while taking a cold shower, I was pretty wasted for a good hour or so after.

This morning's ride was a little cooler but more humid. I had to use 3 wet wipes to clean off instead of the usual one. Feel pretty good now and am optimistic that today will be somewhat cooler.
