Are any CCrs really going to suffer in this heat ?

I am giving her my old smartphone. It is a really nice old HTC One M8.
Nothing wrong with it other than it being a bit slow on complex websites and its camera being sub-par by modern standards. It is much better than the dead 'feature' phone it will be replacing!

Took it easy to start, tried not to chase a 'fast hybrid' down, but I kept catching him on the cobbled climbs, so put the hammer down until about 2 miles from home. Naughty boy.

Speaking of phones and heat. I think the heat got to mine yesterday during my 200 miler because part way through the day the Strava app came up with a message saying the ride data had been recovered following a fault? At the end of the day it only showed about 160 miles which would have been frustrating. Thankfully I had pressed the start button on my Garmin and that got the full ride, phew!
Again during today's 40 miles my phone had a meltdown and went into a shutdown/restart cycle so I ended up forcing it off. Again, thankfully my trusty Garmin did the honours.
Who said Garmin's were unreliable?

No doubt the same as my tablet which I left on the garden table with TdF on via GCN+ on Saturday whilst repairing a fence post. Found it dead and after leaving it a while indoors switched it on message saying it had automatically shoot down due to high internal temperture.

Stated operating temp of iPhone / iPad is up to 35C
If it had direct sun on it that would quickly have been exceeded.

Ironic that Vicks', as I sold my lovely house (near RAF's Hornchurch airfield, hence my name/callsign), to live here - (By North Sea)
My dear ol' LARGE 3-bed' house & it's detatched-garage were not much more than 1-to-1.5 miles away from Wennington
I know it well, as, before they built the 'Trust-House-Forte' Hotel there, it was ALL open-ground, open=land.
My wife & I used to go there every Sunday morn'/lunchtime, to buy our weekly "fresh vegetables"
Not only that, but I used to cycle thru & past Wennington, most-nights (purely to get excersise, nothing else !)
And finally, I'd drive past there on the (old) single-carriageway A.13 to work (Lorry-Driver), in my car, or on my M/cycle.
Just North of the (old) single-carriageway A.13, was St.Albyns farm & again, all open-land, often scorched.
Field fires often happened there (usually 'arson'), but this one today, looks like nature started it AND destroyed homes
