Hah.. I grew up in So California back in high school days Typical summer highs were around 100f. i'd still hop on my road bike (push bike, not motorbike) and go out for a hundred mile fun ride. Later on I met up with a bunch of geriatric cyclists in their late 60's and on, up in the Central Valley (Visalia area) We greyhairs would take off in the late morning and go knock off 50 to 75 miles through the afternoon. Rolling average speeds in the high tens, maybe low twenties.
Heat? What's THAT???? Hydration becomes so natural no one even thinks about it. Jus do it. Never had any issues.
Well the A/C does probably make us soft. I remember going to 2 week GS camp in my tween/early teen years. The first couple of days seemed miserable but after you acclimate it's not as bad. My son spent 5 summers as a camp counselor and said the same, although he taught boating and canoeing so was in the water all day.
Still keeping my A/C on, though...and pushing my gardening time to early AM or evenings.
It’s crazy how it’s apparently necessary to remind people of things that are just good common sense! 😕🙄
