Hotter Than Hell SART

 46 mostly solo miles 16.0 average speed. Suffered being my first heat ride.🤣 Mostly Solo but return with R&D tandem (14 miles) . Their last sprint made my eyes roll trying to stay on their wheel. Barely survived and I will say, took me some time to recoup after the ride before I could put my bike on the rack. 😄😆😄 And the first time I had to pour water over my head after a ride. 90 average temp, 105 max. Plenty of high heart ❤️ rates today.

Youtube video, sorry blocked in Russia :-P

Lesson learned. I should have taken some electrolytes with me, Liquid IV. But didn't expect it to be so taxing and forgetting how tough the first hot ride back can be after so many cool rides. Felt depleted most of the evening, after dinner and beyond. Felt hungry and unsatisfied. Did take in some electrolytes and some good massaging from Gina he he he! Always makes me feel better and relaxing.

I could tell as soon as I started that the HR was going to rise really quick. And like I said, Ron and Dixie's last push made my eyes cross trying to hold their wheel ha ha ha!

Into the wind on a hot day. 161 HR doing 12 MPH.  My max is 180 so 161 was pushing but going nowhere, and fast!

Sunday morning, I did feel ok and wanted and easy 20 that would have relaxed my legs. But I wussed out for Mother's Day and went to eat instead. Tried a few restaurants but man, they were busy so we ended up at a little diner called Millie's. Usually an older crowd so I told Gina after having no luck at the other placed, we should try there because the usual crowd is so old that I doubt many of them don't have mothers anymore. I was correct! A little more than usual for that place but not too many. By the time we left, around 2 PM, there were maybe 4 families in the joint. But it's a cute place. Little itty bitty gift shop, old 50's style, oldies playing on the system, and a pie baker counter. And actually, and excellent banana split.

I had chicken fajita tacos, potato wedges for an appetizer and the banana split. Feeling I deserved it after a hard ride yesterday, I freakin' ate everything ha ha ha! That is rare nowadays after cutting back on my intake and sugar. Eating well for quite some time now but today, my body was calling, actually screaming out for that banana split ha ha ha!
