Texas Heat

So I have been riding for....well for a long time lets say...I used to be able to handle the heat here with no problem..ride in the morning..afternoon..whatever..not a issue...as my riding years go by I seem to be less tolerable of the heat...I have noticed it now takes me 1 day of recovery every time I ride 2 days consecutive..I do all the things one is supposed to do...plenty of fluids...back off the throttle..blah..blah...the only thing I can not to do is turn back that hand of time that seems to be slapping me in the head to remind me that I am not the youthful rider I was in days past...yeah I can still hold my own and even put the hurt on some young guns every now and then...but when those days occur I am heading home to hit the hay while they are planning tomorrows ride...

I find I dread each summer that comes along now and feel it puts a real cramp on my riding...oh well it seems as we get older there are a tons of things out there to remind us we are getting older...I guess I will keep spinning what I can when I can and keep enjoying the ride...but it does blow.
