Friday - as usual - is the start of my weekend.
I usually head out early-ish, but thunderstorms rolling through knocked that on the head. Temperatures heating up by the time I got out at 10am, and the stillness and dampness in the woods made for a proper jungle feel!
Having some consideration for the various heatwave/riding in these temperature threads, and also having personally known someone who died of heatstroke whilst on a cycling tour in France on Sunday, I doubled down on my pre/mid ride hydration and took it very easy.
I was 90 seconds behind you! I’ll get mine closed
Unusually i was out before 8:00 this morning. Only felt really hot for the last 10 minutes when i was back in the sun. Managed a slight variation on some local trails. The best of which i didn’t photograph. 2 gates having been taken out and another 2 were open.
