Mtn biking

It was so hot! I rode alone today, partially because everyone was busy but also because I chose a ride everyone else hates d/t exposure and being such a tough climb. I rode it twice. And I think they may be onto something. It's a trail on the side of the hill/cliff that climbs up from the Columbia River, on the Washington side with beautiful vistas of Oregon and the river basin east to west. But there is zero shade. And it finally got hot today. There are usually some creeks and waterfalls but everything was dry as a bone. At the top of the second climb I had to spend 10 mins in the shade of the only tree and try and let myself cool a bit. My face felt so hot. This was a great fitness ride though and I hopefully was made a little tougher. I have some bike issues to sort out.
Body wise- I have a little patellar tendinitis that flares up on the left knee now after rides. My quads and hips and glutes are pretty sore. I didn't feel sore right out of bed but it built after riding. I was definitely spent after this ride just from the heat alone. Ankle feels fine today, but the routine is that it flares up seemingly 'unprovoked'. Thanks!
