This has been really helpful. I’m in OK, so I’m getting a lot of the same stuff you all in TX are getting, though maybe a bit less spicy. I think I need to generally switch to thinking of this as my base season and shelve the power work until it cools down. My trainer is in my garage, which can hit 100F in August and there’s not really a place to put it in the AC. I’ll usually aim 3 fans at me and limit my output, then spend the rest of the evening rehydrating. I do need to get a couple insulated bottles for ice water, though. Outside rides (weekends) start an hour before sunrise this time of year and if I finish before 10/11, I’m usually able to recover well enough.
