| I know it's kinda late but I was wondering if anyone else was doing this http://www.rideyellow.org/index.html or one like it tomorrow? It's going to be hot again with temps at 97-98 degrees and the heat index in the 105-110 range.  If so, HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE!!! Walt |

| Wish I was closer, yellow is my favorite color. Bike, jersey, and a great cause too. Come to that, I always ride yellow! All the best on the ride! ADC

| My belly-upped lawn maintenance business' biking shirts were yellow. I guess they still are, but since I am riding my cruzbike more and more I don't get dressed in the "attire" anymore. _________________ Bill from Sebastian Giant OCR2 Mongoose Switchback Cruzbike Conversion " Pain is only temporary, quitting is forever."

| Holy SHI# was it ever HOT, HOT, HOT....around mile 50 I looked at my bicycle computer temp guage and it was 102 degrees, at the last rest stop it was still 102 and it was only 10:30 in the morning!!!! I skipped the Jumbalaya at lunch after the ride, way too hot to eat. I did drink a few beers I had in a cooler in the van though.  Still, a great ride for a worthy cause. I hope next year it's just a bit cooler though. Walt |

| Anything Yellow works! I wore my yellow Rail Riders shirt, actually comfortable, or at least as comfortable as could be in a southern Alabama/Gulf Coast heat wave Walt |

| We rode in overcast skies in the morning. Even got a few light sprinkles. I don't think it got over 80. Mark

We do not want to hear that! I cancelled my after lunch test ride on a freshly built DF because of the heat. Also, I was thinking about Walt suffering in Ala.

I think we were just under 100 here. Unfortunately, I had to spend the afternoon drifting down the Suwannee, with intermittent plunges to cool off.
