Bike Ride Recap of the 2019 Buckeye Breakaway

Fun. Challenging. Hot. Lots of food and laughs. Exhausting. Sleep Depriving. Happy. Silly. Tiring. Inspiring. Great.

The weather forecast was supposed to be the low 90's today and my bike group has a long bike ride planned in Cleveland, starting before noon and probably not finishing until well after 4 pm. Of course, we won't be riding the entire time. We'll be taking photos (there are 3 Cleveland signs on the route) and probably stopping at a marina on Lake Erie for lunch. Being able to participate in a long day during the heat, without any ill effects, can be a challenge. Heat gets to me, so I try to do several things to stay cool during summer heat. You probably are doing most of them already. (Some aren't so pretty.) Here are my heat tips for bike riding or running a race when it...
