I did hill repeats on Mission Home, but at 10 am. Dang, it was indeed sweltering.

OMG - 91* (and a bit humid) - how could you stand it?

Lately the dewpoint around here (STL) has been in the mid-70's. That's no fun.

That’s brave my friend. Not exactly a shady spot. It was heat index 100 when I finished my AM chores and dog walk a little before then. I did the uo and over in that climb in my birthday ride last week. Been wanting to hit you up for a ride but thought I’d wait for more pleasant weather.

See....this is why I just can't seriously consider moving back home to the Shenandoah Valley. I went out today after work and knocked out 24 miles with the temp reading 95. It really just didn't feel all that hot except when I stopped. The humidity back there is what just kills you.

Be safe!

You just hafta get out there a little earlier. Did 32 miles on the CCT with a heat index of 100+ but all in the shade (well, mostly).
Only lost two pounds of water weight.

In San Diego only in the 80s but high humidity it feels really hot.
80s used to be a nice day but now it is suffering.
We never had this kind of weather for most of my life, seems to have started maybe 15 years ago.
A few years ago we gave in and put A/C in our bedroom.

I’m excited about my ride later today because the high is only 96. About 10 degrees cooler than it has been.
