My 4th hottest ride on myWindsock Weather Trends was in preparation for the then upcoming national 12 hour championship. I was out in the heat for 4hr 15min, covering a bit over 161km (100 miles). The route was particularly interesting as I had decided to take in as many of the local time trial courses as possible.

I remember the heat well. To begin with, I was hot, but whilst moving I was staying pretty cool. Unfortunately this didn’t last and the temperature reached boiling point half way through. A slow moving tractor deprived me of the fast flowing air, leaving behind the smouldering black tarmac. Almost 10 minutes baking behind the tractor I was released. Now cooked through no amount of air would revive me. I suffered on and finished exhausted, but a smile on my face.
