Guys, it’s no joke. Scooting in this weather is downright deadly.
I had errands to run this morning which had me travelling to 2 different locations on opposite sides of the city. I was planning on leaving early but was delayed due to emails and phone calls that I could not miss.
Leaving late I decided to take the longer route, avoiding traffic, to maximize “breeze time”. I was wearing my denim jacket because to ride without any kind of protection from the sun in this weather is just stupid.
Anyway, as the day progressed and was on the last leg of my trip, going back to the office, I realized that I was drenched in sweat. Everything was wet, my shirt, my jeans, my gloves. I had no choice but to go home. Good thing I kept myself hydrated (Doctor’s Orders) throughout the day by taking gulps of water from my Thermos Hydration Bottle which I bought for specifically that reason.
So guys be careful, wear something that will protect you from the sun and the road and hydrate hydrate hydrate!!!!
