The heat continues, but I've adjusted. Now, I start early (between 6:30 to 7:00). I maximize the pedaling in the cool parts of the day before stopping to eat breakfast. Then I struggle through a couple more hours as the heat increases.
The best part, is that I now take a mandatory siesta break starting between 12:00 to 12:30. All through Guatemala and El Salvador, I have found rivers to stop by during this time... I plan my timing to arrive during the heat ;) I stop, drink lots, and then take a swim before laying down in the shade for a little while. Then pedal again for a few more hours before night sets in.
The afternoon break has been great and provided me a nice way to break the day into different parts and hang with locals.
