Back in the warmer flatter south today, so I did a 50 miler with a buddy today on my tri bike, and got some cyclists palsy (numbness of my pinky/ring finger). I'm guessing it was because I wasn't spending much time on the aero bars, and the extra pressure from keeping my weight forward on the brake hoods shot my ulnar nerve. I'll keep that in mind and likely switch back to my road bike for group rides in the future, or just accept that I'll look awkward in the aero bars.

My goal for this month will be to get out every day if the PSI is below 130. Three nations are now helping fight the fires in Indonesia (Singapore, Malaysia and Russia) so let's hope that this ends the haze and that Russia doesn't get confused and bomb Surabaya and Kalimantan and soak Syria!

@saphin what is PSI? Heat index or air pollution score?
Ended up going for a short 13 mile dunkin run at lunch and was passed on my beach cruiser fixie by a road biker in full gear when I just cruising along at 16mph. I was able to hang for a while with him at 20mph, but my upright position on my beach cruiser didn't help and aerodynamics won out. Destined not to be passed again, I went out on my TT bike for a 21mph zone 2 training ride this evening, and was passed by a group ride buzzing by me in a pack doing 25mph. I gave up after a few minutes, as I had already ridden 25 miles, swam 1 mile and ran 9 miles today.
I just can't win.

@saphin what is PSI? Heat index or air pollution score?
Sorry, psi is a pollution index; anything over 100 is unhealthy. If I cycle over 130, I have to use a breathing mask, so that's a whole other set of problems. Singapore is perfectly positioned between Borneo and Sumatra, so when they have Forrest fires, we can't breath.
No reason to measure heat or humidity here, it's a fairly constant 30 to 34 Celsius (about 92 to 100 f or thereabouts) and humidity is around 80%. You get used to those numbers and I'm pulling jumpers on at about 25c. I don't think I could survive in Aberdeen (Scotland) now0 -

I'm a bit late, but I'd like to join in
I have balance issues so I can't ride a real bike. That's my goal one day... to improve my balance and be able to ride a bike, but for now I stick to spinning at the gym. If only there was a way to tell how many miles I go on a stationary bike!
So far this month, I've spun for an estimated 30 hours! Very leisurely, as I'm just now attempting to get into shape.0 -
