It may also have been dehydration, but it sounded like you drank a fair amount of water. With the super high humidity your body probably wasn't cooling off adequately. At least that is my wild a$$ guess.

Yes I rode Saturday. To a point I like riding in the heat. All that sweating makes me feel like i'm accomplishing something. Definitely wasn't speed related. Speed (and cadence) was very consistent throughout the ride. The last leg of the ride was definitely MUCH hotter and in retrospect I'm not sure my body was able to keep up with the heat via sweat as you have said.
Peed right before the start and then not again until about an hour after the ride. And that was after post ride drinking of 32oz of water and maybe 16 oz of sprite.
Wayner i'm with you on taking the MI bus out of town.
