As Patrick said, I am back in Santa Fe. I did a hard four hour dirt ride today to celebrate the summer solstice, climbing several thousand feet to over 10,000' ASL, out of water the last hour plus on the way back to the start. It was pushing 100 in the sun I'd guess, well into the 90's for sure.
Yep it was hard but still it was just riding. If I'd planned ahead I could have started earlier, planned my route and water tighter and those would have made it more pleasant, but it was still fun and I'm glad I did it. In some ways perhaps the dry heat here is more manageable then the wetter heat back east. 35 miles in the 90's is a lot anywhere I'd say.
