ME AND MY SON RODE MTN BIKES 72 MILES OFF ROAD IN 98 DEG HEAT AND HIGH HUMIDITY...
STOPPED ENROUTE AND DRANK 2 LITERS OF WATER WITHOUT HAVING TO PEE
HAD A CAMELBACK DRANK THAT AND REFILLED IT AT THE BEACH AND STOPPED FOR ANOTHER 2 LITERS ON THE RETURN TRIP AND MADE IT BACK
OK
SO TEN YEARS LATER I MOWED THE LAWN IN SIMILAR CONDITIONS, DRANK A SIXPACK AND WENT TO PLAY GOLF AND DRANK A FEW MORE BEERS...
WE WERE WALKING TOWARDS THE 17TH HOLE WHEN I CLIMBED A SLIGHT INCLINE AND SUDDENLY FELT THE LIGHTS GOING OUT..
I KNELT DOWN AND THOUGHT I RECOVERED BUT WHEN I WENT TO STAND ALMOST LIGHTS OUT...
I LAY PRONE ON THE GROUND AND MY SON WANTED TO CALL AN AMBULANCE.
I TOLD HIM TO WAIT AND I LITERALLY COULD FEEL THE GROUND ABSORBING THE HEAT FROM MY BODY... WE SKIPPED THE LAST HOLE AND GOT TO THE A/C CAR AND MADE IT HOME AND DRANK TWO LARGE BOTTLES OF GATORAID...
THAT SAME DAY TWO PEOPLE WERE REMOVED VIA AMBULANCE WITH HEAT STROKE...
NOT AS EXCITING AS YOUR STORY BUT AS THEY SAY... “HYDRATE OR DIE”.....
Where did you ride 72 miles off-road? That is an awesome feat.
