I was late getting to work today (job interview, but don't tell my current employer). Rode about 25km in 33C heat, with a humidex of 42C. I believe that 37C is the equivalent of 100f, so that gives you an idea. Add to that the fact that I was riding directly into a 50km/h headwind (gusts to 60km/h) and you'll understand that I can commiserate with you on the weekend. We can be a tough lot, us cyclists! cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
