After the hot ride, I took the next few days off as the temp records were set here, 122 degrees!
Heck, I got tired the next day watering the yard in the evening before dark. 2 hours out the and doing light work, still 103 at 6 pm. Man, I was toasted working on the yard so I figured I better not ride the next day ha ha!
But tonight, Wed, I figured I could get in an easy cooler ride to see how my legs were feeling. Felt great, no fatigue, amazing what the heat can do to you! So after 10 miles, I felt so good tonight that I wanted to stop at 10 miles just so I wouldn't get tired at all.
But figured I better do 15 since I missed some riding this last weekend. I had my little back up mask with me and once I saw the ash in my headlights, I'm glad I had it. WOW, look at that ash! Few wild fires around here so plenty of ash floating around. I also washed my truck and it's now covered in ash. Dang it!
But anyway, I have buds that ride without masks and I guess it's much harder to see during the day, but from what I saw tonight, I'm keeping my mask on. The sun has been fire red around here, lots of smoke in the air, really shows in the mountains, so I'm glad I had my mask tonight.
