I, and I think a few of us, RabH, remain in awe. In any case, while road riding is not my favorite, I am jealous that you have such wonderful routes to ride.
Canicula, Sirius, Dog Star!
We Poles say "kanikuła" to describe the hottest season in our country, mid-August. (It is when the Sun and Sirius rise at the same time). With the temps of over 30 C (86 F) and hot nights, I find cycling impractical and even dangerous to my health. There is a public holiday in Poland on Aug 15th (the day Poland tanned the Soviet Russia hides in 1920), which I decided to celebrate with all day long sleep
Yesterday, I had to set off for a grocery shopping ride despite the heat. Went back exhausted after having ridden only 12.7 km because of high temp.
