It was a hot one today! At the beginning of the ride temp was in the mid fifties and by the end in Gaston lower 90s. Totally different weather in the coast range this week compared to last week. Wall to wall sun, no moisture and dusty gravel throughout. I was looking for and riding in any area of shade possible as the day got hotter on the way back. Definite heat related decrease in pace during the last half of the ride. Stopped twice to get water once from Barney reservoir and the second place at Fairchild creek. Used the Sawyer mini but the squeeze bag sprung a leak at it’s fitting while getting water at Fairchild creek. Roads were in good condition.
