Too hot and no water... Never been there on a bicycle. I keep an eye out for water sources constantly. Front yards, ranch houses, muddy creeks, sprinklers, even stopping on the high way and waving my empty water bottle at the passing cars can git ya Water! Now shade, that's another matter cause believe it or not there are places where there is not any.

In the 70s there once was a couple of US Army Medics escorting a Stick of Canadians on a MEDCAP on the high plains of Ethiopia. They ran out of water. Luckily the medics were from Texas and Arizona. We called in our position and stacked rocks for shade. It was a long... Long 24 hours... Yep... I keep an eye out for water all the time...
