Heat Training

It's not a dry heat, but it's been plenty hot here in Texas.  When I started riding near Randolph AFB, my EGT guage read 41 degrees C (105 degrees Farenheit).  Even though things had cooled when I neared Marion, TX, I still suffered some sort of heat malady.  Luckily for me, I was able to duck into a Valero Heat Treatment Center and they had a couple of heat malady antitdotes (2 for $1).


I have been trying to ride during the hottest parts of the day here to acclimate myself to riding in the heat which we'll experience during the Race Across the West.  I feel good, and I'm ready to go right now.  Only a few more days!
