When I left home the temp was high 80's...Cross a pass over into a more inland valley ,farther away from the coast...I do not know what it was..My bike odometer has no thermother...At the plant, they said not long before I got to work, it was 100 degrees...I hate hot...Consdering it might have been near 100, think I got to work ok.. TOok the heat ok...That is usually not me...Did take a swig of Cytomax before I left and went through 2 bottles of water/gatorade in my 26 mile commute...
Hope the heat I can weather , because I often wimp out over 95...Wore my jersey with side vents.. Going up the hills was a little hot, otherwise I did ok...Like to think if under 100 , I can hack it...
When the asphalt is that hot..Could feel the heat thru my shoes...Sun so bright. Kevlar tires help...Asphalt at say 140 take a beating on your tires.?
