Paladin said:I rode home the other day in 107f heat. Only 6 miles, but that was a fun
trip.Next day was cooler, only 103.
Man, I'm glad you reminded me - I keep forgetting to check the weather!
Supposed to go up another 10 degrees tomorrow...better ride tonight!
(still nothing close to 100, but that's why I'm in Oregon!)
Quoted message said:One thing I've learned about the dark side of cycling, though:
Most truck drivers don't understand me working on my fitness, as they almost
hit me, working on their fatness.
No kidding. These dudes with pickups feel so confident about knowing their
limits that they don't mind risking hitting someone with the mirrors. I
know of a guy who got hit once - an off-duty bike cop. He caught up to the
pickup at the next stoplight, got off the bike and hopped in the bed, and
took a leak in the guy's truck (so the story goes; I wasn't there).
