Hot, muggy, rolling...

The weather forecast for today was pretty grim from a comfort standpoint, with temperatures predicted to be in the mid-90s with high humidity too. I decided to ride before work today as opposed to riding to work and back again. My thinking was that I could then skip riding in the late afternoon heat.

That didn't work! I rode in the morning, then used my 4-wheeled (and air-conditioned) vehicle to get to the office. Back home again in the late afternoon, I felt my bike calling me. And yes, I did ride again. It was 95 degrees out when I rolled away from home. Although it was hotter than yesterday, the temperature actually felt (slightly) more pleasant. I suspect that was due to sticking to nicely shaded roads for my early evening ride. My mileage total for the day was 36, just 4 miles short of my usual ride to work and back again. Not bad, especially considering the gift of heat that the weather wizard insisted on providing.
