Gonna be a hot tonight!

[Cleanbean]

Temp showing 97F outside in the shade. Humidity about 50%. The ride is at the Blora at 6:00 PM. I'm
thinking IV of Gatorade directly into the veins. I passed on the coffee this morning for a couple
cups of green tea and did it again in the afternoon. I took about 3 potassium's through the day. I
guess the thing that concerns me is some of the crew has not been out in the heat that much, yours
truly included. It looks like only the strong will survive (or those under 40!). It should be an
eventful ride. There will be about 7 of us total. Safety in numbers I always say. I figure the 9 mi.
course will require about a whole camelbak plus a bottle of drink. Cell phone a must. I'll report
back.....maybe!

That sounds truly miserable. I commend you for your dedication to the sport.

Enjoy. I decided not to ride tonight, what with it finally having dropped under 90 degrees.... in
the shade... at 7pm. 50% humidity. I feel for you.

The funny thing is here, or at least in NY/PA, it has been very hot and humid the past couple of
days, and even with all the rain we have had, people are complaining about the heat.

At about 10:30 here it's 56 F, 35%, Dew Point:29 Feels nice. I'll just crack the window tonight (35
F is the predicted low).

Here in the Sonoran Desert it got up to 101 F today with 15% RH. Now at midnight it's 82 F
with 18% RH.

I rode today from about 4 pm until about 8 pm. It was 100 F and 15% RH when I started, but by 8 pm
it was down to 93 F and 16% RH.

Sounds familiar. Where ya from. Right now in RI it's 79F, 74% RH. too hazy to have sun yet. An I get
to sit in a west-facing office with floor-to-ceiling windows and no A/C. It _does_ have a panoramic
view of Newport harbour, but that only helps when the wind blows.

At 1800 local, temp 92°, dewpoint 74°, HI 103°, not a bad night for a ride, 'round these parts.

You just live on the wrong end of the planet that's all. I have the electric blanket on, and the
dooner all fluffed up, the thermal undies on, and the overnight temp will be low enough that any
water outside will be frozen by the morning (the poor dog will have to CHEW his drink in the
morning, damn you think coffee's a wake up, try downing icewater first thing on a cold morning)

Move to Australia during your summer, and then move back before we start to roast around Christmas
time. (Yes Australia DOES get cold, no we aren't a giant desert with nice hot beaches around the
perimeter, in fact we even have snowfields, which I live only 1.5 hours from)
