My son and I did 106 miles today, not much different from prior Sunday 
rides, except that today the ride dragged a bit in the middle, and I 
noticed when I got home the tell-tale signs of too much sun & heat and 
not enough water (hair soaked and scalp felt like ice). Basically didn't 
drink enough and not used to warmer temps (high of about 90, which isn't 
that hot after all).

Point being, we've been riding in colder-than-normal weather for some 
time, and we're getting hit with "real" summer weather without any time 
to get used to it. Make sure when you're out there that you've done the 
sunscreen thing and drink lots of water, never letting your mouth get 
that dry feeling if you can possibly avoid it. And maybe you'll need to 
take it a little bit easier than expected, or just realize that if you 
feel like you got run over, you might still be in decent shape, just 
suffering from the elements a bit. This too shall pass.
