Too hot mmmmmm I think there is a law riding naked however it would irradicate those unwelcome stains.Travels with my Mulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168113549081846815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-8098314596848530232009-06-27T12:34:47.930-05:002009-06-27T12:34:47.930-05:00My solution has been to start carrying my water bo...My solution has been to start carrying my water bottle along. It gets over 110 and I'll start carrying two. It gets to 120 and we'll all stay home. Starbucks is great in this weather - refill the water bottle with a free cup of triple filtered ice water and you're good for another 10 miles.<br /><br />It ain't the lack of a breeze that's a positive, it's the lack of a headwind. Tailwinds are not to be sniffed at. A good stiff tailwind is good for two full minutes savings on my "to work" commute.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-84626883456695583142009-06-27T12:25:37.671-05:002009-06-27T12:25:37.671-05:00damnnnnn. 100+ dont mess with texas...

Those comments are priceless!<br /><br />I think your friend will just have to live with the sweat.

I think part of the key is to ride lazily when the heat kicks in. I've still riding, but I'm riding much more slowly than normal. The effect ends up kind of like when you first got out of your car and started riding. When you start riding slow, you see things you never saw when you were riding fast.<br /><br />I listened to the cicadas as I rode down Overton Park East (which I've decided is my favorite hot weather ride, as it seems to get shadier as I travel south toward home ;- ). I saw a large turtle shoot through the dam at the low water crossing on the Trinity. I noticed that recumbents are getting more popular. And I watched some guys fishing under the Bryant Irvin bridge. When I ride fast I never notice any of that.<br /><br />Summertime..... and livin' is easy.Doohickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088639153697449691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-85359159392313239622009-06-26T20:06:40.280-05:002009-06-26T20:06:40.280-05:00Rantwick-Those before and after pics are great!

Looking at the weather with a "glass is half full" outlook, I guess the lack of a breeze could be considered a positive.Rat Trap Presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123315525301010775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-59585531028369732802009-06-26T18:56:01.690-05:002009-06-26T18:56:01.690-05:00Quitcher whining, dearie.
