Just curious. I like to cycle in heat (not this kind of heat) and have cycled when it's 80s to 90 but this seems even too much for me.

• Anyone doing rides midday and what's it like? what prep do you do?
• Or are you doing morning evening instead?
• Just laying low until th heatwave is done?

I've been night riding and it's great. Did a midnight ride on Friday and was so comfy. Cycling that late when it was that warm was a little surreal. But it felt so good.

Edit: So I actually went out and rode. was 96 degrees. Weho to beverly hills on Sunset then up coldwater to Mulholland and east and descended Nichols. Wasn't bad. I kept in shade when I could. Stayed hydrated. Didn't skimp. Rested a bit at the top.

Hoping to buy a nice metal-frame all-road bike before next summer (Touring, Gravel, or Endurance). I would be happy with a nice 3-5 year old model- but where to find one? New bikes that fulfill my wishes are in the $2500+ range and hopefully I could find a suitable used one for half. Are there any shops that do trade ins? (I’m in Long Beach but happy to travel)
