Good riding weather resumes tomorrow.
I second that emotion! I don't remember ever feeling so glad to smell, hear, feel, and see the rain.

I rode 35 miles in the heat yesterday to get in a training ride on a day off. Felt pretty sick after. Felt sick when I came out of the clinic this afternoon and it was still 102 and sunny. My heart soared when I smelled the rain coming out the kitchen window, then heard the thunder, and saw it start. It's still hot in the brick building I live in, but it will cool off. Riding is going to feel so good!

Bikingmom--it's coming your way. My friend in Denver told me the heat broke for them yesterday. It's moving east. Hang in there.
