According to the weather forecast, the eastern US will get hammered by record high temperatures and humidity levels all this week. Although some relief may be on tap for this upcoming weekend, it is possible participants in the 2010 Anchor House Ride may have to ride in very steamy conditions.
With that said we should be preparing ourselves for the real possibility that next week may be very hot on the roads of Virginia and Maryland. Staying hydrated is key; the better you're hydrated, the better you"ll ride. Start drinking water now; drink enough each day that your urine is almost clear and you're going to the bathroom at least once during the night. Keep a bottle at hand at the office and drink constantly. The worst time to start your hydration regimen is next Sunday morning. By then, it will be too late and you'll never catch up.
See you next week.
