Quite a bit warmer here than it was last week, about 95 at the end of our ride. 95 is normally not a problem but since we were not acclimated there was a bit of sniveling.
We start with a few hundred feet of climbing and I had a lot of trouble getting going. This seems to be the new normal for me. Later I feel much better and don't embarrass myself as much.
Anyway 5 of us did 60 miles. We started with 6 but one of the ladies turned back early because she was afraid of the heat. She could have done the ride, she's a good climber but always underestimates herself.
Also we didn't make a water stop in the last 25 miles so a couple of us ran out. That seems to happen a lot on club rides, too.
