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

For hydration I now use Gatorade Zero since they stopped making G2. I always add a little table salt to my bottles regardless of the weather in also helps prevent cramps for me which I haven’t had in years. For the longer rides I use NUUN tablets with water for tefills
Mid ride they are light and not as sugary and my stomach can manage them much better than more Gatorade.

My ride yesterday reminded me of something else I need to wear when it's really hot outside - gloves. My hands will sweat and I have trouble holding on to the grips if I try to go glove-less. Mental note: next time put gloves in the pack just in case...
 
A cold beer on the couch usually keeps me pretty cool.

But in all seriousness, I’m in shitty August shape, and it’s only July! Anyone else going through this?
 
I did not even make an hour at Allaire this morning - fifty minutes in I abandoned the thought of getting my precious hour minimum in.

The heat has returned - time to find a swimming hole and crank some Riff Raff.

I know the feeling... I had plans to go ride with the MTB Philly crew at Nesh this evening but had to do a quick road ride down to the garage to pick up my MINI (that ironically was there to get the A/C fixed). About a 2.5 mile ride. I tried not to go too hard and overheat, but I started sweating the second I walked out the front door. And was soaked by the time I got to the shop. Paid and started the car to A) check to make sure the A/C was really fixed and B) to start cooling the interior down while I stuffed the Grade into the back.

As I type this at almost 9PM, the thermometer is still showing 89 degrees... 🥵
