Happened to me a few mornings ago on my way to work: On a lonely stretch of highway (Ronald Reagan Hwy.) that's popular among bikers, I came up on a dude standing next to his bike (he was alone) with his head/arms resting on the handle bars. I could tell this guy was in trouble so I turned around. Sure enough, this guy was messed up. I think a heat stroke was just around the corner and he still had miles to go to get to his car. So, we broke down his bike, stuffed it in my car, and got him out of there asap. I was scared as hell for this guy. He was beyond exhaustion. Got him the help he needed and was on my way......So folks, next time you feel like pulling a Lance Armstrong, make sure you're prepared! This dude (a big fella) was out there in 95 degrees and told me he had only eaten half a protein bar (about 150 calories) and had run out of water. Holy Crap!

No doubt....doing the 7 on 7's every week makes me appreciate just how in shape the kids are these days...I have to hydrate constantly to make it

if I don't have my lawn done by 10AM, I'll stop and wait until after 6 to finish.
