As a first time RAGBRAI rider this is my biggest fear, the heat. I got heat stroke ONCE 3 years ago when I rode 50 miles from Boise to Prairie, ID. It was 110 and took me 7 hours grinding gravel. I was delirious and we almost called medics but were lucky to find a little motel room with with A/C and a cold shower. Couldn’t eat or drink much. The worst!
