    Gels, chews, etc.

    I make high carb lemonade for my bottles (water, 1/2 lemon, 60-90 grams of sugar, and a tablespoon of salt), then i like cliff blocks when its not cold out.

    Banning e-bikes from bike trails

    That's going to be a near impossible to maintain that law. Just let folks ride.

    Welcome dude. If you're interested in getting used to riding with other folks, The Bike Surgeon of Southern Illinois in Carterville does a road group ride on Saturday mornings (8am for the faster 17-20 mph (2 hours), 9am for 10-15mph (1 hour)).

    Do you compete on organized rides?

    Only ride to the sky is a organized ride that isn't a race.

    Best hot weather cycling kit

    I got the summer tops, white kinda helps but at the end of the day it all sucks. It's just getting the body adapted to the heat

    LBL Gravel

    Yeah, Shawn Hargis and I rode down there from Herrin. It was a good ride, definitely not an easy finish to 110 miles. Good riding down there though

    Do you compete on organized rides?

    To quote the Zwift community, "if there is a start line and a finish line, its a race." Tbh, i keep my organized rides to just that. No glory in "racing" other folks that aren't racing.

    Best hot weather cycling kit

    I haven't found anything that helps, maybe doing some heat adaptation training before it gets too hot will help

    Worst Weather

    I hate wet due to the amount of damage it does to your drivetrain. From a physical perspective hot and humid is so exhausting.

    Are we ever going to catch a break?

    I prefer to run in the rain v riding in the rain. I can run on sidewalks

    Depends on what you mean bad. Wet, wind, hot, humid? All have been bad.

    The weather was bad that morning. It also took place on the day the RAIL ride existed.
