Bragging a little bit.
« on: June 28, 2010, 08:30:04 am »
Lynn and I have a bike ride coming up July 18th that we are working towards, so we took a couple of bike rides over the weekend down by Richmond.? Water is key!!!

Staturday.? 29 miles, 98 degrees when we started at 4pm and still 94 degrees when we got back a couple of hours later.
Sunday.? decided to get out a bit earlier, started 17 mile ride about 10am, temperature of 88 degrees.? I parked my car in the shade of a tree and the car's outside thermometer still was saying 107 when we got back.? The real temperature was ONLY about 103, but that was at 11:30 in the morning.? Brutally hot down here.

Amazing that it didn't feel that hot when riding, but as soon as you stop you realize how much you've been sweating.? But makes me feel good that I can still be out on the bike in that weather rather than just staying in the rocking chair in the air conditioning.

I'm off tomorrow for a week in Paraguay and Brazil.
