There is definitely a point at which cycling ceases to be at all enjoyable. It doesn't matter what you're riding, what you're wearing or what you're consuming. I found that point today.
Easy 22 miles. No big deal. Except it's in the mid to high 30s, which combined with constant searing sun and high humidity, apparently feels like mid 40s.
I was totally fucked after 10 miles. I'd already had a litre and a half of electrolyte drink and I still felt faint and had to stop for a bit in some shade.
I got home, stood under a cold shower for 10 minutes and as soon as I stepped out I was sweaty again despite having my A/C set at 18C or something.
Japan, you suck bro.
