Our intro, and question from @grammasaurus
Q1. Where are you posting from today?
It's unsafely hot in many parts of the USA, and was last week in Europe. If you must, what’s your best hot weather cycling tip?
Replying to @ascentale@sfba.social
Hopefully the scheduler is working?
A1. I am in Oakland, CA, and am prepping for a 4th of July bike costume as well as for a trip to England next week. (Part of the trip will be in London mid-week, and Iam excited!)
We have been very fortunate to not have had very hot weather yet this year, though it sometimes comes later in the year when it is wildfire season..
I don't have great recommendations other than I haven't been doing long rides in the heat for quite some time. But I did get terrible electrolyte imbalance headaches in the past, and so if I am smart about preparation, I take electrolyte tablets and electrolyte drinks, and plenty of liquid.
