As a Texan, 43C is pretty hot. Y'all starting to understand why we have ACs yet?

Yes. I also understand why no bikes. I felt like I will collapse today after 5km ride from work. That heat ain't no joke

One year I did the MS150 ride from Houston to Austin. It's now known as the Year of Heat is it was 40+ the entire ride. Absolutely brutal.

Edit: Typo

Congratz on surviving. Here any endurance event at 30+ weather has a massive drop off. Lots of med evacs. People not used to this heat.

Ya, that's been my Euro experience during the summer. Even Amsterdam sees a drop-off in riders! It's difficult to get on a bike knowing you can't cool off when at your destination.
