I rolled into the Stripes station on FM1314 at 12:55 after riding 26.1 miles. I knew it was hot but I didn’t think it was this hot:<\/p>\n

It has been hot and dry for many days now. I am glad our home A\/C is working now too. I even had to adjust the thermostat up to 80 degrees because it was too cold; we didn’t have that problem on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Riding the “New Caney – Gene Campbell Road” route today I left home after watching stage 2 of Eneco Tour on EuroSport at 11:00. It was already heating up then at my home weather station.<\/p>\n

After a 30 minute break at the Stripes station I headed home feeling hotter than when I arrived there. I could feel fleeting coolness whenever I rode through some shade\u00c2\u00a0 and even rode closer to the edge of the road to get in the shade. Oakhurst had the most shade until I got to Kingwood. The ride was 37.48 miles<\/strong> long. My legs weren’t that great today and the average speed shows it. The weather says the wind was calm but it seemed when I rode every direction but southeast I had a headwind slowing me down more than normal. I got home at 2:23 and the home weather showed this.<\/p>\n

Triple digit temperature on both weather sensors. The Bush Airport weather was 102 degrees too. Perfect training for the Hotter’n Hell 100 in a 18 days. Wednesday (tomorrow) could be even hotter. Today was the 16th consecutive day biking. The dry weather contributes to this string.<\/p>\n
