Went for a nice hike today. From sea level to the top of a mountain. 17.7km and just under 1,000m of height gain.

Despite the mild day the wind was very brisk at the summit.

I don't know how to break this to you, but I'm pretty sure a number of people already do this.

I'll keep checking Strava while I'm out so that i know how far I have to ride. ![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Remember, I'm old and don't do well in the heat so a nice short ride would be good. You wouldn't want to feel bad if I got heat stroke or something.

However she’s old enough now that I could at least start the coffee before taking her out.

I think this was part of my problem yesterday, it was so hot with no wind that I just roasted.

No, on a hot day it actually accentuates the heat, much like the convection setting on your oven. lol
