That sounds like fun! Good to get the rugrats out and about in the outdoors...I guess soon it won't be possible when the winter weather closes in.

Oh no, we are hardy creatures. When it gets colder we just wrap up that little bit more!
That's the way...No different to when it gets 47°C here in summer...Life goes on.
Oh, but there is a difference here when it hits 47C. Everything is earlier. I am generally done with my outdoors experience by 0800. I have an air conditioner that's big enough to cool a bowling alley so I honor it by staying inside when it's brutal.
That's ok if you can do that...But some people have to work in it. I just melt. 🤣
I can (or at least used to be able :)) work in it for a while, given plenty of water and some shade to retreat to.
There is a Mexican roofing crew that works all summer here. I do not know how they do it. If there's a hotter place than on a house roof I don't know where it is..
When I'm riding in it (and I do ride in it from time to time) I stop for water every 50 miles or so. 1 liter of water per hour. Last time out I stopped in North Las Vegas for water and realized I hadn't peed since I left home (250 miles) so I stood there and just kept drinking water until I HAD to pee. The next 250 miles got me into cooler temps...
It's a lot of heat and sucks moisture our of everything. Hydrating is key. I was born here, 50 years in Australia and I still hate the extreme heat. Still, life goes on and I ma age not to completely melt each year. 😁
P.s. On a roof is the last place I'd want to be for sure. #madmexicans
I know a couple of them. Tough bastards, I'm telling you what.
