We had to modify our riding plans today as the temperatures are approaching 120 degrees and it is even hotter riding on the asphalt highways. We are out side of Las Vegas and decided to stop riding for the day to pick up again when things 'cool down' this evening. It is just too dangerous to ride in that kind of heat.
We are all staying hydrated with plenty of water and energy drinks, but with this heat it is impossible to keep your core body temperature down to a safe level. Obviously, it is hard to be sitting and not moving forward, but it is the right thing to do.
We did experience some wonderful people who stopped to offer some of our riders water and support if needed. Not everyone is in a hurry!
