Very Hot Bike Ride
Got my road bike back from the bike shop. It’s nice to have a tuned up bike – quiet and a firm ride. Only they put somebody else’s chain on my bike (I’ll take it in Monday and get that straightened out).
Just shy of 30 miles in 90+ degree weather with a strong south wind. The first 15 miles really, really, sucked. Coming back was much more fun (I even hit 32mph at one point and was averaging right around 20mph).
I’m a little dehydrated (drinking chilled green tea right now) and fatigued, but otherwise feeling pretty good. I’m also happy that I coat myself with SFP 30 sunblock before I go riding – I would have been burnt to a crisp if I hadn’t been wearing it (2+ hours in the sun with little to no shade).
I’ll be taking it a little easy tonight at the last night of the Fair anyways, as I have to go to my Aunt & Uncle’s house near Ypsilanti. I haven’t seen some of my cousins in some time, so it will be a nice trip.
