Today was a day like a lot of other really hot days. Basically just a regular day , but hotter than most.
Regardless, I headed into Wheels of Bloor to pick up a tube and then started riding. It was only 23 or 24 degrees out so it was perfect for a good 60k ride. Shortly thereafter I meet up with a dude from the Morning Glory Team. He persuades me into going way further than I intended. We ride from downtown out to Terra Cotta. The distance wasn't the problem it was the heat. It was getting hotter by the minute. I only had 2 bottles, but also had no food. I had intended to just do laps at the Crit course , hit a store on the way back and I would be good. So this guy Hanz takes me out way past where I want to go, granted it's a nice ride, but my leg just aren't turning. I kept falling off his wheel, and I don't even think he was pushing it.
We stopped at a small fruit market for more water and some apples. We each bought 3 waters, all of which were done by the time we got home. The temperature at the market was 33 degrees in the shade and that felt great compared to being in the sun. I wager it was closer to 40 on the road.

So we ride back into Toronto with nary a hit and run scare. Those guys from the Morning Glory team all seem , so far, to be really great guys. Hanz, told me that he works for the guy who invented Paypal, and who also owns Tesla Electric cars. The company, not just the cars.
