The long ride

After returning from Denver on Saturday I called my friend Kevin to see if he wanted to ride on Monday.  The temperature was 95 when we left and peaked at over 100.  I was planning to ride 50 or so miles at an easy/moderate pace; Kevin decided to ride 70 miles.  The last 15 miles were very hard for me, the heat was really messing with my body.  I finished and spent some time trying to get myself rehydrated, no small task after almost 4 hours in the sun.
