Hot ride

I foolishly left for a bike ride at noon on this hot day, and found myself stopping at a lot of shady spots, to get some energy back, and to let my heart rate get back under 120. Thanks to my Garmin watch, for keeping track of that for me. It turns out that 98° is too darn hot for me to be climbing hills on my bike. I was glad for the short reprieve, on the cooler and breezy level path, on top of the Chatfield dam. Also happy about the three tall 16 oz glasses of iced Gatorade, juice, and water that I slurped down after I got home.
