I've had something like that a couple times, but it's always early in the season, like April, on maybe the first ride on a day over 80. Weak, light-headed, vaguely nauseated. Heavy sweating. Generally only once in any given year, and no recurrence. So I've always assumed it reflects lack of heat acclimation. But if you've been riding in the heat already for some time, that doesn't make sense.
Will try again on Sunday. Tomorrow I golf.

EDIT: I've never noticed any positive or negative effects from my meds, but it's just an ACE inhibitor and a diuretic. Last Sunday's ride, I had inadvertently skipped a day, and as I said, I felt like a cycling god. I took my meds after my ride that day, then went for another ride the next day, where even though I didn't feel like a cycling god, I felt really good, much better than I should have considering the ride the day before. So

Tomorrow is my discogram diagnostic procedure. It is designed to provoke pain. If it's painful which I'm sure it will be, then finally I'll know the disc is bad. The prize is getting a disc replacement. The upside is I can finally get on the road to recovery. The downside is it will get worse (post op recovery) before it gets better. I still have to choose the neurosurgeon to do the replacement. I want to be on the other side of this nightmare really ******* bad. That's my story.

In Spring, Dad would occasionally harvest dandelion greens from the yard, which he made into a salad with a bacon dressing. They were good!

It’s really hot in Charlotte.
Found a group ride last night through a local I met in my neighborhood. It’s pretty cool how organized Charlotte is. They have a designated website for all the group rides, organized by day and time.
The group was small, it was storming in areas of Charlotte so I think that scared a lot of people. Typically the group will split into two groups. A pace and other pace. The A group was a no show. So the pace was nice and easy. I wasn’t complaining too much, a lot more elevation changes than I am used to. Only thing that was a little frustrating, the group seemed to have a hard time maintaining a speed. We were doing the accordian thing constantly. I tried to alleviate that by taking the pulls on the climbs and that didn’t work. So then I started staying in the back, and if I saw a gap start to form I would sprint ahead and try to stop the gap. That didn’t really work either. The route was awesome, and I am glad I got out and met some cool people.
