Sweat & Flies Breakfast Ride

This morning's ride in a nutshell:

Sweat lost: entirely too much
Flies eaten: entirely too many
Flies smeared in and all over ear: one

Water dumped over head, arms, legs, etc at top of climb: 2 bidons' worth (luckily there's an icy cold natural spring right at the top)

Perfect.




We left at 6:45am and it was STILL absolutely roasting... and humid and sunny, to boot. Mid 20s when we left and surely high 20s when we returned.

The average daily high temperature at this time of the year is apparently 27-28C. It's actually getting up to 34-35C. The rainy season has failed to materialise and we seem to just be in summer already, a good month to two months early.

Awful.
