Not so bad in west Wales, but still uncomfortably hot. The portable A/C unit in the bedroom is making the nights bearable, sleep would be im possible without it.

We had a nice trip to Lidl where lingered in the chiller aisles while choosing something for tea.

Yep, our 90 minutes free parking was up.....the downside is having to leave said store...
It's so hot I've put a bottle of red in the fridge!
I had been thinking about doing a similar evening ride to yesterday's, only with an even gnarlier climb out of the valley**, but it is too hot for that. I will wait an hour or so then go and tackle a gentler lumpy loop.
Of course I am!You must be mad!
Of course I am!
I have just decided to do a 50 km ride which will take me about 3 hours so I will set off shortly to avoid riding back in the dark.
If it starts to feel too much by the time that I get up to Blackstone Edge, I will cut it down to about 35 km.
Portable AC on at home - had the unit around 20 years.
