Wow your ride sounded absolutely lovely even with the shower!
BF was hungoverso only did 15 miles over our usual route at a snore worthy pace but I did play with my new shoes and speedplay pedals & cleats. Getting over 34mph on a downhill where I usually get 29/30 was quite a rush! I cant wait to try some bigger hills!

Hmmmm... the only riding I've done (will do) today is going to get lunch, and then going to the grocery store (where once again I was met with strange looks when I filled up my panniers with groceries- I love it).
It's 100 and I'm a heat weenie, so inside I'll stay today.
Your shower sounds heavenly!

I too, took the day off of work. Did 60k rolling terrain. A bit humid and 31degrees C, but that kept me pedalling and kept me cool. Beautiful fields of golden hay, contrasting with the grey sky and just a bit of sunlight peeping through. I was cursing that I didn't bring my camera. Found a little side road with closely spaced conifers..smelled heavenly. I love smells! (the good kind) Did a short brick after ride and just as I finished stretching the rain began to fall. Perfect day!

30 mile ride though Orting up South Prairie into Buckley and back. Great ride except for the road crew I ran into at mile 9. They were resurfacing the road and I had to wait for the pilot car!
Me and a line of cars and one motorcycle! It was an out and back so on the way back I had to wait again for the pilot car! Going back was all downhill. The new surface was still hot and oily but really smooth!
