I rode in the heat wave today: did you?

heat index does make a huge difference because of humidity. That was clear the last fiddy race, it was about 5-10 degrees cooler than the time before, but the humidity from the rain that just went through made it seem much much worse than the time before.

I know where it comes from. Their dew point [on average] is about 60 points higher than ours. My point is, 105 is effing hot whether it's 12% humidity or 80% humidity.
