duane Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Its getting hot in Dubai too, last weekend when I went for a great XC ride, it was 38 degrees. Its hard as hell, the air gets much thinner, so you breath less oxygen, this year people are saying we might go as high as 54 degrees. All you can do is accept that things are going to get harder and try not to give into it, although it probably doesnt matter that much in the UK, but out here it isnt going to get any cooler till november. Gatorade in a half frozen camelback helps a bit.The humidity has an effect too, after its been really hot, as soon as the sun goes down the humidity shoots up and anything colder than the air gets soaked with condensation. So if you keep your bike in the house the second you take it outside, your rims get soaked and your in for brake trouble. I will have to get the ginder out this weekend !Anyway I am way old and can still ride right through the Dubai summer so stop whingeing about 20 degrees !Duane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need is an endless supply of water like in clacton where taps are everywhere!Just fill your helmet up continously with water and ride!Then you dont get too hot, get a great tan...etcI love the hot cold feeling!
