It doesn,t come any better than this for cycling. Who wants to go abroad, if only it was like this for six months of the year.

FTFY - I'll allow heavy snow in the lead up to Dec 25th - to add excitement to the juniors of this country...

I've been virtually topless all afternoon (well, no tee-shirt - I have been at home, indoors).

Oh, dear. I do hope chap has his tablets near at hand when he reads that.

How times change. Once upon a time, you'd have said Patrick...

I did 101 miles today in 26 deg heat
Drank gallons of liquid! I also now have a very sill looking cyclist's 'tan' in my arms/not on my hands/on the ends of my fingers.

I say 'tan' because it's sort of red at the moment (I did cover myself in sun cream, btw). For some reason I also have two stripes of red on my legs, which looks a bit odd

Ah, if it was anyone other than you, Arch, Patrick would have been prime suspect.

It was burning hot here; I spent the whole day doing hard labour (aka DIY) outdoors, I forgot to drink all day, came in and drank a litre of water straight down. I still haven't needed to pee!

Todays ride happened to find itself in Castleton..... as I said to the mrs. "It would be a shame to come here on the hottest day of the year, and not try and ride up Winnats pass".

Bugger me, but it was hot on that road. There wasn't a breath of air to be had that wasn't baking hot in the gap between the cliffs.

Didn't quite make it this time, got to the last really steep bit, and there was nothing left in the legs, bailed out and turned round. Sat in the carpark at the caverns and had an icecream instead.

Just have to try again later on this year.

this weather has been truly depressing. it's always the case though, when you have to revise, the weather is always nice. I've been stuck indoors for the past few days reading up on social status I can also guarantee that come the 5th June, once exams are over, it will suddenly start to rain!

Hottest ever for this time of year here in Ontario - in the high twenties - too hot really for digging and planting, which is what I was doing today... and I got a very sunburned back. Wish I had been more careful...

Just taken some stuff up into the loft - no exaggerating, it must have been a million degrees up there!

Sure? I think maybe it was literally a million and a half....

Just back from cub camp...that was a belter.....

Thought it was freezing last night...slept in sleeping bag (in a tent) with a t-shirt, jumper and waterproof top.......... wasn't....I'd obviously got too much sun whilst making sure the cubs were OK and topped up with sun lotion - a 3 week Turkish sun tan does not always help.....especially when you don't top up.

Bloody was, centigrade too!

I think it would be more like 45 degrees.
