Holy crap it's hot out there!

[SIK SD]

I was out at PQ this morning at 8am to do my normal ride and it was already steaming! I was so freakin hot and all i had on were my patent leather speedos and my football helmet. I guess summer is here...

Sik Sd, I just got back from there riding out and around the tunnels and hitting the jumps en route back..what were you wearing? My buddy Will was on the Ellsworth Distance (black) and I was on the Yeti 575 (also black). We did addidas to the sidehill climb out and missed tunnel 5 opening, that damn thing fools me every time! Did you pass the poor guy who dropped his left crank? LMK next time your headed out, we will join you if possible.

ya rly.

Ok, no speedos but it was like the serrenghetti out there, i was waiting for a caribou to run across the trail! Silver Fox jersey, black Fox Shorts on an anno orange Enduro SL.

I was out on a road ride across the 56 and by 10 it was pretty warm, but not as bad as I thought it could be. I looked over from Camino del Sur toward Tunnels hoping to see some folks on the trail, but nothing.

riding road is better when its hot, you have a wind speed of around like 18mph usually colling you off versus the 4-5mph wind speed colling you off while climbing in the dirt. Its all about convection!

I left a little before 8am and finished at like 9:45 in the mountains and I had temps in the mid 90s!

except my feet really swelled up today from the heat...i couldn't wait to get my shoes off...painful!!

I guess the heat affected me more than I thought since I don't remember that outfit/bike. Of course there are maybe 10 diff loops in there so its possible we never passed one another. I'll send you a pm next time we are headed there. Enjoy the ride

Drank 80 oz of water
Had lunch and a beer on the way home and still weighed in at 4 lbs less that when I left.

Upper 80's when i rode thru Pauma Valley at 9am on my way to Palomar . Up the south grade.....Lower 80's when I got to the top. Went down the east grade to Lake Henshaw and it was mid 90's. Back up the east grade then it was upper 80's at palomar top. Back down the South grade to Pauma Valley........106! **** Me!

And 86 im my condo when I got home The pool was my only relief

Pretty darn hot at Noble Canyon today too, especially at the end (95deg). Had a good ride though, but I'm very tired. There was a group ride of 30(!) lycra-clad mountain bikers from Mexico. Friendly folks, we were passed by, and repassed some of them, several times. Also talked several times to three guys from, I think, OC & Temecula, who were working jumps etc. Loaned them a pump. One guy looked real familiar -- should've thought to ask if he was an STR guy.

As I passed Harrahs Casino...must have been some hot gambling going on

[Piranha]

Well then, I suppose it's time for Mt. Pinos and the Chilao area .

I am always looking for a good excuse to head up there and just about anytime is a good time to go to either area.

[sdyeti]

Yeah, all the friction from the penny slots being played over and over!
