It's a ripping hot summer, so...

I try to remember it is not cold, wet and windy. An ice cold hose sprayed over the head helps when I get home and I traded beer for a tall plastic cup stuffed with ice, then filled 50/50 with Gatorade and water.

When I've been able to do the 31/31 challenge I was definitely in the "pre-dawn ride" group. Something really nice about riding on the roads with nobody else around. Then watching the sun come up.
Otherwise, I agree with riding in the woods.
God damnit I want to go ride... injuries suck.

edit: yeah... when it's stupid hot out, eff baggy shorts - full-on roadie/XC racing kit. And I usually forgo a pack and just have an insulated water bottle filled with cold water.
