Too Damned Hot!

[huchieglide]

I know how you feel Fred. The I-5 corridor was blistering hot. It has been a scorcher here in Medford. Son got married Saturday at 3pm in an outdoor service. Should have checked into a mesh tux. Wife and I are going to try and bail out of here bout 5am Thur. Breakfast in Merrill and on to Reno.

Thanks for the good will!

I found this works great without needing to wear a backpack (camelback) and without superheating the water of a camelback my stuffing it in a tank bag.

I bought a 100 ounce bladder from REI and will put it in an insulated 12 pack cooler bag. Ice it down with some frozen water bottles for extra water and a great ice combo. It fits very nicely on my Givi topcase rack with a small cargo net for security. Since I have a fuel cell, I can actually lean back a bit and touch the backrest pad, I am close enough so the tube just goes over the shoulder. Works well. Will have to see how it insulates in the desrert heat though.

Yeah the desert heat is a killer alright. Coming back from Ely a few weeks ago I just couldnt drink enough water! To prevent this from happening again I'm leaving in the middle of the night tonight. I guess someone 'upstairs' wants to keep me cool too.... suppose to rain heavily on me the first 300 miles of the trip.... in the middle of the night.... fun! :blink: I'm hoping this means less animals moving about in the high country.
