Day11 - Inferno Ride

The heat is unbelievable! I have never ridden in any temperature this extreme. After this, anything else will be tame. The early morning portion of the ride was nice, MO Hwy 7 was an undulating road with plenty of curves. As the day progressed we got into the more populated areas. The increasing heat and traffic started to wear us down. We managed the best we could, stopping about every 50 miles and drinking lots of fluids. Still, it wasn't enough. After 400 + miles today we arrived in Paducah Ky well done. At 9 pm it still fells like 93 degrees. In some towns we saw bank thermometers indicating over 100! In bed early tonight, it's going to be another cooker tomorrow.
