136 Degrees
Tuesday 26th May, 2009That was how hot it was here the other day. I want to put this in perspective. On that same day, it was 77 degrees in New Jersey. That means it was almost TWICE as hot here than in NJ.
So think about the difference between 0 degrees and 77 degrees. Then add that difference to 77 degrees!
I don’t think that I can accurately explain how hot that really is. But, next time you are in a sauna, check out the temperatures. Normally, they top out at 120 or 130 degrees. So, that means that we could have walked into a sauna, set at its maximum temperature, and it would feel COOLER.
So, what do you do when it’s 130 degrees? You find the nearest pool! (That pool may be a few hours away.)
The water temp of the pool was 86 degrees. It felt pretty cold from 125 degree air temperature. I’ve never been in a pool where if you are standing in the shallow end that your head and hair will dry within minutes.
After that, we walked around a little bit. A found a little piece of my own private Mecca!
I can’t wait to get home and ride!
