The temp today is supposed to be around 101. When I rode this morning is was in the 70's. It actually feels a little cool until I really start pumping!
Just a thought.
I wish I could, but I leave for work at 5:30 am -- I ride a vanpool that leaves at 5:45. It saves me a lot of $$ each month. A one-way commute by bike would take me at least 2 hours. I wouldn't mind just 1 hour, but I don't want to spend 4 hours commuting to/from work every day. But what a way to get in shape!!!
