That was the most grueling 300 miles I have ever ridden.

I know we do not get the heat you do but I feel your pain.

Last year on my return trip from the Estes Park Rally I rode 800 miles in one day.....in 100+ heat. It was 104 in Salt Lake City.

Right in the middle of my ride a certain buddy of mine.....I won't mention his name...let's just say he was a LL umpire, rides a Victory CCT, and is into Blue Leather...anyhow he knows I am melting in the heat and feels so bad that he texted me a pic of an ice cold margarita...!#/##$=% :mad::mad:
