Heat Relief 😮💨
We’re getting a bit of heat relief this week; but I can assure you, I’m not getting it by imbibing hot chocolate!
It’s great to have a break from heat advisories; but I still try to avoid riding when the day is hottest. And it’s already quite hot before 9:00 am.
Today I rode back and forth over a short stretch of the levee; then went to the park and rode around three times. Over 17 miles total! I need to work back to my regular mileage; and 17 miles is pretty close.
Now if only we could get better heat relief!
Reminiscing 🤔
I’m watching RAGBRAI videos again; and that has me reminiscing about my ride last July. I wish I’d been able to take notes from day to day; but there was no room in my bags for a journal.
I’m even considering what I’ll do if I can make it to the 2027 event. One thing will be, try to get going earlier in the morning; even if that means I can’t buy a meal before I start.
Another thing: get at least one larger duffle bag! A pair of 40-liter bags aren’t enough. And, of course, think about training up right now. It would help if we got better heat relief!
