My new programme said: 120km ride on Sunday. Friends said: Let's do the 4 gorges . That seemed to fit together - even if it added an extra 10km. But the weather was a bit challenging: 27degreesC (80F) at 5.15am. Most of the morning it was 37C (99F), with my computer registering 44 (112) at one stage. That meant LOTS of liquid - 6 bidons at 600ml (?20 oz), plus an extra litre of water at a stop, and 3 glasses once I got home (oh, and no stopping behind a bush!). But happy to report that for the entire ride I only lost 500g in weight, easily replenished.
