Last day of Bike Virginia--52 very rolling miles in beautiful 80s sunny breezy weather. Total for the 5-day ride is 241 miles. I took Monday off to work (but it was by the hotel pool, so I'm not complaining).

Hot
I only rode to and from work because of the heat...and it was really toasty both ways! On my way home (that glorious 5:00pm sun and heat) I felt like I was cooking on the street while I was stopped at a red light.

22 mile out and back with BF. Late afternoon clouds kept it from being outrageously hot.

Went on a 20 mile group ride last night. Tried out a new group. I was specifically looking for something a little easier/slower than the other Wed group I've been attending. It was OK. Small group of 5. One person was quite a bit slower than the rest of us (partly due to equipment I would think).
I looped back to give her some company a few times.
It was 102 degrees at 6:15 when the ride started. It was 97 at the finish. I felt fine in the heat. I've been really focusing on hydrating on and off the bike. I also have started putting Nuun in one bottle for electrolyte replacement.
Overall it was a bit too easy to be a training ride for me. But the social aspect was nice.
