12/24 hours Iron Maiden race is this weekend. I'm racing 12 hour single speed. Race day prediction is 99 degrees. It's been so mild so far this year I think yesterday was the first ride in 90 degree weather. I'm not sure if I'm 100% heat adapted yet. I was shooting for 6 laps which was a reasonable target. But 99 degrees throws another variable into the equation I've never dealt with. 1-2 hour rides in 99 degree weather is one thing. But racing for 12 hours is something else all together.

Damn. Be careful out there. Probably not much you can do outside of cooling off every chance you get. Maybe put some ice bags in your cooler you can stuff down your jersey every pit stop. I’d freeze some bottles too knowing they’d melt down pretty quickly once they’re in the cage.
