    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!)

    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).

    OK, that's kind of weird. I think I'd take a different approach.

    I was on the Oregon coast in mid-June. The friggin' middle of summer,
    and we needed sweatshirts. But I've put on my schedule before death to
    learn to ride in the rain and take the bike up there.

    What's that I used to say? "The road to hell is paved...." sure has felt
    like it lately.

    Went for a Road ride on Sunday and it was hell on earth... 95 degrees 90 percent humidity...
    Took off for the beach afterwards...
    The beach is perfect 75 degree water temps.. 2 footers breaking about 50 yards out... nice breeze...

    I reccomend a certain river in your locale... much better in the heat
