It's hot... freaking hot! It's bake-your-brains hot!!! To avoid the heat, I start pedaling around 7. By 7:30, all of my clothes are soaking wet with sweat. I sweat so much, that it runs into my eyes and down my arms, making it difficult to see and even more difficult to hold onto the handlbars.
I can only really go for about 45 minutes before I begin to overheat, so I stop, wring my shirt out, wring it out again, drink a liter of water, then wring my shirt out once more before I start pedaling. This has me drinking 8-10 liters of water each day.
From 12:30 to 3:30, I can't pedal... The heat of the day is too strong. So, I take a nice siesta break... Eat some food, drink lots of liquids, and relax.... I must follow local customs, right??!?

After 4, its starts to cool down. I pedal until the last minute of light to maximize the day. It makes the camping difficult, but keeps me at 100 km a day.
