And I was gonna ride today, but now I'm not so sure it's a great idea, as I would rather not die today. It feels like a wood-fired pizza oven out side right now in Portland, summer has arrived.

Did someone mess up the order,

and Portand the heat?

It was a scorcher! On my ride yesterday, whenever I would ride into a shaded area, I could feel how blazingly hot my jersey was on my back. On one break in the shade, even though I was drinking ice water for about 5 minutes, the sweat wouldn't stop pouring. Don't remember ever having such a bad reaction in the heat. It usually doesn't bother me that much. This summer seems to have an extra edge to it.

I just got back from my ride at 9:00 pm. I felt pretty good despite the hot. My lungs feel fried though, from sucking in the hot air and pollution, plus my head is a bit off. I think a burrito from Cha Cha Cha may cure everything.
