Are we there yet?!?!?!

 

Start drinking water NOW. It's is going to be very hot. Waiting until Saturday dosn't work.

 

Good idea!
And dont forget your fan!

And bring a small cooler full of ice water and a few wash clothes. Works great in between sessions to cool you off faster.

 

I am going to run a liter of IV fluids in on Saturday morning :shock:

 

I regularly ride mountain bikes for 3-4 hours in desert temps in excess of 100 degrees. Hydration more than 24 hours in advance is a waste and you can actually become hyper-hydrated.

During excercise 22-30 oz per hour of activity is about all the body can process. Monitor you urine color, dark is bad.

Your humidity down there makes it tough.

 

I regularly chase butterfly's and unicorns in a semi conscious state of confusion. sometimes I don't drink for days on end and everything seems to be ok.

 

You eating those "wild" mushrooms agan?

 

LOL, No, that was in the off season when I was going crazy. Now that riding season is upon us I'm all good! Besides, I hear all the good s#*t is out in the desert.

 

Thanks dad!

 

True story!! It's burning up here! I feel sorry for you guys in all black suits...

 

You forgot that small detail this time so i felt obligated...

 

Lmao

 

I drink about two gallons of water every day. The morning of the event I will drink 2 or 3 bottles of water before the first session and the a bottle of water and some Gatorade between sessions. It works pretty good

 

It is gonna be HOTTTT folks.

 

what about black and purple? should i be ok? lol

 

Black and purple should scare off everything including the heat

 

He ain't kidding Jimbo. I'm gonna lock his blue suit in the trailer so he has to wear the black and purple one

 

Do ittttttttttttt

 

And you're telling us this because???????
