Blistering riding weather all week. When it gets this hot there is no comfort from the wind movement. In fact, it’s like you’re riding inside of a giant air fryer. The heat is so intense your sweat is drying faster than you can hydrate which means you can seriously get into trouble on a long ride.

T. emperature measurement taken at Keifer Road, Rancho Cordova. During the remaining ride home I hit temperature of 114. This was just before you get into the town of Ione.

I try to prepare myself the best I can before hitting the road. This included drinking a lot of water and eating ice chips.
