So on the way home from Santa Barbara, after our last video clip in that abandoned parking lot, Traffic got really bad and we started splitting lanes.  Ryan went way ahead of me cause his bike is easier to split with.  Also the heat got up to 95 degrees, and I was wearing full gear; jacket, gloves, full face helmet, pants, and boots.  So needless to say, I started to get really hot.  I had to split lanes just to get some air flow back, but it wasn’t enough.  Within a couple minutes of riding in the heat, I started to get a little dizzy, and almost made some big mistakes.  I pulled off and went to a fast food restaurant just to get some water and cool down.  Then on the way back I got stuck behind two big accidents.  After I finally made it home, about 45 minutes after Ryan, we met up and talked about what we learned about riding in the heat…
