Why does nobody warn you about the last 15 minutes of a summer commute
Last Tuesday I left the office in downtown Sacramento at 5:10pm and got home at 5:45, and the whole ride was fine except the final 15 minutes. The temp was 97 degrees and I had a backpack on, so by the time I hit my driveway my shirt was soaked through and I had to stand in front of the AC for 10 minutes before I could even say hi to my dog. The morning ride is easy, it's the ride home when the sun is still baking the pavement that gets you. I started freezing a water bottle the night before and shoving it down the back of my shirt for that last stretch, which sounds dumb but it works. Anyone got a better trick for the hot ride home that doesn't involve showing up looking like I fell in a pool?
