Ride smart in the heat
Thursday, July 8th, 2010
As most of you know, Frederick has been setting some heat records lately. So if you get out and ride in this weather, be smart. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water all the time, not just on the ride. This way you’ll be hydrated starting out. Bring plenty of water, search for shady routes and turn the pace down if you aren’t feeling 100%. One of the things I like to do this time of year is fill my water bottles half way with water and freeze overnight. You’ll have a giant ice cube to keep things cool during the ride.
Stay safe and cool!
