Sunny, getting hotter...

It was still a reasonable temperature when my bike and I headed out this morning. The heat caught up with me though, and I was dripping wet by the time I rolled home.

I thought about riding along the coast today, dreaming that it might be a little cooler next to the ocean. I quickly changed my mind though when I looked at the weather forecast and saw that the New Hampshire coast was covered by an "Air Stagnation Advisory". Hmmm... heat plus unhealthy air quality. All of a sudden riding a (relatively) short loop near home sounded good to me. And after all, there was a ladybug waiting for me; I apparently needed to ride by her home!

This ladybug thought she would come along for the ride. And yes, she was trying to hang out on my sunglasses! Actually, I'm pretty amazed that I was able to get this photo.
