“Hamptons Recreation” Tips for Bike riding in summer heat
Summer heat can make bicycling uncomfortable and downright dangerous. Below are some suggestions for coping with summer weather. Most of this advice is fairly common-sense, but it never hurts to hear it again.
Plan. Plan trips well ahead of time, and give yourself enough time to ride and recover. Know how long you can comfortably stay outside and therefore how far you can safely ride (generally under an hour; ideally under 30 minutes). Select routes that allow you to keep moving with fewer or shorter stops. Try to locate and follow shaded routes, or routes traveling through cooler areas (i.e. flood-irrigated neighborhoods)Check for potential cooling points along your route.

Acclimate. Start out riding slowly and avoid the hottest parts of the day (10 am to 4 pm). If you’re just getting started with commuting by bicycle, you might want to make the switch gradually instead of trying to dive in during the summer heat. Dress strategically: consider whether dry-wicking clothing and sunscreen work best for you, or if you’d prefer light, loose, long-sleeved cotton for sun coverage.
Hydrate. “Eat before you’re hungry and drink before you’re thirsty”. Drink lots of water before, during, and after riding, beginning up to a day ahead of your ride. Always carry plenty of water and don’t be afraid to ask businesses to refill water bottles. If you wait until you’re thirsty, you are usually not drinking enough and it may already be too late to avoid heat exhaustion. A good indicator of good hydration is the need to urinate once an hour.
Avoid Heat Exhaustion. Learn to recognize your body’s signs of heat exhaustion, which are similar to signs of fever. Initial signs can be subtle, so know them and pay attention. At the first signs of heat exhaustion: back off. Relax your pace, and increase your fluid intake, especially if you have stopped feeling thirsty. If you do not recover within 10-20 minutes, immediately find air conditioning or shade, and be prepared to call 911. Heat stroke can occur quickly and it is potentially fatal, so don’t try to tough it out, even if you only need to travel a short remaining distance. Lastly, if you get a flat tire or have mechanical problems, be sure to seek out shade or a place indoors for repairs. It is also important, in order to avoid heat exhaustion, to have great HVAC facilities in your home after a day out cycling in the heat. Getting your air conditioning replaced or fixed by companies like Boulden Brothers, could help to keep your body cool and relaxed after being in the sun all day.

Getting hit by a car can have a lifelong impact on your health and well being. Brain injuries, accidental amputation and PTSD, are just a few of the potential consequences of being involved in a collision. Always ride safely.
Hamptons Happenings…I am so excited for the Chef’s and Champagne in the Hamptons 2013. The James Beard Foundation’s Chefs & Champagne® New York…..Honoring Andrew Zimmern..Last year Food Network’s “Chopped” were the 2012 honorees, I had never watched the show and I was clearly in the minority. After the event I came home and decided to tivo the show and now I am completely a Chopped Junkie….I love this show and have watched every episode.
www.jamesbeard.org
Once again this year I may have been in the minority because I had never watched or even heard of Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel with Andrew Zimmern. I have watched the show and I like it. I have learned much about other cultures from around the country and yes, the food that Andrew eats on this show is very BIZARRE.I am sure I am NOT brave enough to try new things as Andrew does, like the “trash fish” and black bearhe ate. The most Bizarre food that I have ever eaten was “turtle” when I was in Costa Rica, this is apparently a treat…I will admit is was delicious.
I am most excited to attend this years Chef’s & Champagne because it is one of my favorite events in the Hamptons. I am looking forward to stopping by Chef Eric Millerfrom Madison & Main table, Chef Alex Guarnaschelli fromButter Restaurant and one of the judges from my new favorite show “Chopped” will be there as well so I would love to taste her food and a new restaurant that just opened in Bridgehampton that is receiving rave reviews Chef Todd Jacobs from Fresh, can’t wait to have a sample of his food.
