where did you TAKE your Tenere today?

[Sierra1]

I wont enter the desert without Oral Hydration Salts and a few liters of water. Dehydration is no joke. Feels like dying.

Ya I was at the edge of it become dangerous. I had my ice water and stopped every 1 to 1.5 hours. But your right it's no joke and worst I've had is almost having a heat stroke at the NV/CA border because traffic was backed up and it was °112

Worst i had was at Willow Springs raceway, which is in the California desert between Palmdale and Lancaster. On the second day of track school i hit the wall. Puked and almost passed out. ORS + water and i was good in 30m...but without that i was screwed. Taught me a very clear lesson about how its too easy to get dehydrated in the desert. Im used to a forest climate.

I'm tellin' y'all. . . . CamelBak (or similar) and Propel w/electrolytes. You'll feel as good at the end of the day, as when you started out. Did it for years. . . . 10hr days in the Texas heat.

I don't like heat at all. Getting to the point of throwing up is bad. I keep lots of water with me and pour water inside of my summer vented jacket just before i take off again and feel good for a while. I really need to get something like Sierra mentioned. I am not out in those conditions very often though. I do enjoy seeing all of our country. The diverse conditions in just a couple hundred miles is amazing. Be careful out there!

Agreed but me being stubborn and thanks will do.

Yeah the big thing is dont let yourself feel thirsty. You are already about 25-30% of the way there when you feel thirsty.

I agree on camelbak + electrolytes

You guys need to ride Hwy-92 (Black Canyon of the Gunnison) before you head home.....................You'll love it!

 

[jrusell]

Took trip up to the Annapolis Valley. Stopped at the Blomidon Look off for a few pics. Nice spot where you get a clear view across the Valley. Some backroads across to the other side of the province and then home. Not a long day, but a comfortable 500km when I made it home.

Tell your friend with the smaller BMW to have a look at his rear tire. Sure looks like he mounted it backwards.

We had planned to ride 92 but its extremely hot here.
We have pretty much kept to the higher elevations.
