Lake Hodges--North side Wednesday 8/15

[PacMan]

Hitting up the north side of Lake Hodges Wednesday afternoon at 3PM. I will be SS'ing but the pace will be as fast as I can turn my 32:20. I have to be done by 4:30PM. So still an easy pace, but need to leave by 3PM sharp and no messing around on the trail (at least not for me). I park in the dirt lot behind the Chevron. I'll be in a Red Ford Freestyle.

Directions: I-15 exit Via Rancho Pkwy. Turn right into the Chevron station and drive out the back driveway to the dirt lot directly behind, off of Sunset.

Cool. I'll see you there this time.

I should be able to make it. It all depends on when I get back from my "road trip"

Pac: I was laughing to myself the whole way home. I have no idea how I possibly got out of that bridge disaster so easily...I also couldn't prop my bike up nose down on that tree again if I tried! Sooo funny. Good ride--thanks.

Ya, that was quite the trick

I was so busy thinking "WTF?" I didn't even think to bust out the camera. It definitely could've turned out worse.

It was nice meeting you. Good ride too, but man it was "hotter that a snake's @$$ in a wagon rut." (name that movie).

See you Friday.

Story!

Yeah, waaaay too hot. I'm still not really recovered...headache is setting in now. Friday is supposed to be ~91F up here, so I figure it will be 3-5 degrees warmer on the dirt. Hmm.

I always got headaches when I rode in the heat until I tried Elete Water. I can't recall having a headache since using the drops in my camelbak or water bottle. And no, I don't taste the salt.

I always ride LC, where the pleasant ocean breeze keeps my cool!

Cool, I'll check it out. Honestly though, it was just unreasonably warm--not the type of heat I like to ride in at all. The trail was just hot as hell...I'd guess 100+ in some parts.

I cheated and looked it up...let's see if anyone else gets it.
