Well the weather forcast was correct, and we are getting the 80-90 degree weather over the past few days that was promised. We expect a couple of more days with like weather and then back into the more seasonable 60's. Despite a fair number of miles over the past couple of months, the hot weather still has its own challenges. I'm glad we've had a bit of exposure to this prior to the heat of the desert that we will experience a couple of weeks from now. It's clear that you can't drink too much water in this kind of weather. I'm hoping that my time in Vietnam, and working in steel mills during the summers while going to college might help me manage the heat and time we will spend in the desert. But the truth is, each day will be different, and stuff from 40 years ago has absolutely nothing to do with today.
A number of fellow XC riders have been busy swapping emails over the last couple of days. Apparently, most of them have sent their bikes along to LA, and everyone is having a slight case of cabin-fever, and wants to get going. One of the XC riders sent us all a picture of his yard today April 27th, covered with at least 6 inches of snow (in Denver, Co) and mentioned that he apparently will not be doing the long ride he planned for today!!! So, as the story goes, if you have it bad, don't worry, it can always be worse, and this snow in April appears to be proof of that.
