Even with my gravel bike which I take up the Angeles Crest mountain range, I've been downsizing my cassette just to minimize weight.
I rode with a friend this morning from Chatsworth to Thousand Oaks and back. We saw some riders but way fewer than a normal Saturday. Only saw 2 large groups.
I drank 5 large bottles and a 20oz soda. Drank several glasses of water when I got home. It hasn't really got hot yet. You know, so hot you can't sleep, so hot that it's awful at 8:00 am.
