Thanks for all the good suggestions!!
Although Vino's advice for a week of heavy drinking and smoking
sounded appealing, I decided to take a more Christian path. I got up
early this morning and went for a light 45 minute ride. My heart rate
stayed within normal ranges, and, while my power output seemed
slightly diminished, probably from the last two days of riding, I felt
good overall.
Conclusion, I'm not a wuss and I have no problems with dehydration.
My body was simply overheating. I recommend early morning rides with
Caudle!!
Lessons well learned

both of you are suffering somewhat from heat exhaustion, Joshua the
hot and cold chills can be serious. Hydration occurrs the night
before the ride you should be drinking tons of water during the
day and each night. Shouldn't pass a bahtroom without having to go
in. Urine should be clear unless you are on meds or excessive
vitamins. Drink lots on the ride, I am drinking a bottle and half
to two bottles per 20 miles. Avoid riding between 3:00 and 5:00.
finally be patient and pray for cooler weather and less humidity.
Jim

Goose,
I too have been experiencing difficulty on afternoon
rides. My symptoms are: difficulty catching my breath (the air
seems to be lacking enough oxygen), feel very hot (hotter than
normal) after pushing up hills or riding faster than normal, legs
seem to be weaker than normal. When I slow down, I feel fine. I
haven't experienced a feeling of nausea. I've never had heat
stroke, but I wonder if these symptoms suggest being close to
having one.

I may need the Doc's expertise on this. I have not had a
good ride since my July 13 time trial. That totals almost a whole
week of miserable rides, starting with the whole Jim, Tim, and
Potato Hill fiasco. I wonder if I have been chronically dehydrated.
The constants:
1) Food: not changed much
2) Routes: I haven't flown over to the Alps for any tour legs
3: Bike: I haven't found anything heavier . . . not that
they make that.
Changes:
1) I have switched from Cytomax to plain old Gatorade
2) Because of morning and evening commitments, I have been
riding between 1-5 in the afternoons, which means hotter temperatures
Symptoms:
1) Inability to keep my HR down below anaerobic threshold.
Today I averaged 177 bmp for 1.5 hours, and overpasses sent my
heart rate up to 192. Only Snake Mountain has taken my HR that high
2) Cold chills on the bike. It feels like I am passing
through pockets of hot and cold air
3) A strong desire to puke while taking down fluids . . .
I'm probably drinking about twice as much as I usually do
4) No gas . . . I try to put the hammer down, and nothing
comes out. I averaged 16.7 mph today and 16.2 yesterday. Even the
heavy wind shouldn't account for that poor of an average.
Regardless, every minute feels like hell.
Did I sleep from January to June and only IMAGINE that I
rode BSG?
Any ideas? If dehydration, then any solutions--other than
ride with David at 5:45?
