Yeah. I am nervous about low 80s tomorrow. Going to wear my full-zip Rapha jersey. Definitely going to make sure my CamelBak is completely full.

Ours is set to 66-68 at night, but that is only for our bedroom. 72 during the day for the first floor. 78 upstairs 24X7 unless someone is up there.

Man, you know it's bad when a Minnesotan thinks that y'all are babies when it comes to your AC setting.

One year, I started the Old La Honda climb (7.5%, 3.1 miles), but halfway up I felt like crap. Lightheaded, nauseous, sweating like a river. I had to stop and cool down, and then ride back down, and gently rode the 81 miles home. Next week, same temperature if not warmer, and I had no problem at all. Passed the place where I'd stopped 1 minute ahead of my time the previous wee,.

Last night I did a workout on Wahoo's Systm, which I signed up for just to try a longer plan. It was provocatively titled "A Very Dark Place", and consisted of 5 blocks of 4 minutes, between 100 and 115% of FTP, with two of the segments also including 10 second sprints. It was hard, but not as bad as all that.
Then, when I went to bed about 5 hours later, as I lay there I felt an odd kind of 'flutter' in my chest. I checked my pulse at the wrist, and it was... irregular. Not too fast or to slow. More like syncopated, averaging around 50-60 bpm, but at irregular intervals, like beat - pause - beat beat - beat - beat - beat beat - beat - beat - pause - beat, beat. Like that. No other symptoms, but of course my anxiety shot up. I couldn't get back to sleep for 3 hours, during which every time I checked, my pulse was steady. I spent a while looking it up online, remembering that I had been diagnosed a few years back with a murmur involving my mitral valve, and that can apparently cause mild occasional arrythmia.
Contacted my PCP this morning, who basically said, Don't Panic, come by for an EKG sometime this week. Maybe don't ride today, and go at reduced effort tomorrow. So, now I'm feeling betrayed by my body, and wondering what it all means.

Trying to decide about riding... It had looked like today was going to be a wash, and it was assumed that the Wed night group ride was off... but now it looks like it's not going to rain in the evening... but it's 37°, overcast, still damp from the overnight/morning rain, and windy - just ******g miserable, IOW.
Take the day off? Squeeze out for a short solo ride under the assumption that the group ride is off? Reach out to others in the group and possibly get roped in to a miserable evening? Decisions, decisions.

Mojo31 , AVDP is a Sufferfest workout and their name. They liked dramatic names.
AC temperature is dependent on a number of things. The harder it works to get down to the target, the better it feels. Setting it for 74 on a day that’s 76 and humid can be tough. Setting it for 82 on a day that’s 102 outside is fine.

I've at least ridden the last four days and, tbh, it's the whole trifecta - damp, cold and windy. I've dealt with two out of the three the last few rides - they were necessary rides, but I wouldn't have called them fun - but all three? Ugh.
