We departed Pratt , Kansas
I was going to visit her in Colorado Springs
Yep. Still in Kansas
By noon, central time, it was 104 F, a new record high . . .
. . 106 F, another record . . .
. . . no, one more, 109 F at 1:30 pm . . .
. . . no, here we go, 111 F, no kidding, at 1:42 pm, and it stayed there for hours!
When stopped, the temperature sensor would go above 120 F and would no longer register. At 109 and higher, it took almost 10 minutes of riding to drop below 120 F.
It’s hot!
Turn around Mick so I can get your “hot” picture!
He wouldn’t turn around.
yeh, hay
a bridge
Don’t know where to go!!!
The GPS doesn’t like the heat either.
Gosh, I’m having fun!
Mick is having fun, too!
Last Contest Question (no picture):
When riding in 111 F heat, will you be cooler wearing a heavy leather jacket or not wearing a jacket, and why?
Yes. We did finally make it to Branson.
This is my mom in the Sunshine Room.
Everyone knows I’m coming, except her.
The big surprise.
Looks like I snapped the picture just before she recognized me!
Maybe it was the sweat!
And there we are . . .
Herb, Mom, and Mc!
Herb, Mom, and Mc!
And at the end of the day . . .
. . . oh go away.

Wearing a jacket while riding will keep you......COOLER for a couple reasons: Without a jacket, sweat evaporates instantly, prohibiting the cooling effect of evaporation off the skin. Wearing a jacket will allow the sweat to stay on your skin & it will feel cool when air passes over it. The jacket will also prevent sunburn, which will make you hot long after the ride is over.
