    I know that somewhere around 40C is about 100F (once saw 42C on a sign in AZ). I hope you get out there very early.
    Good job on the courses, CC. Doesn't it feel good? I will be half way done with my program one week from Monday. I can see the end...

    I just resigned as president of the bike club, a position I held for 2 months.

    I'm a volunteer. I'm not spending my free time finding customers for a private business unless they're going to pay me.

    I know exactly how you feel. I resigned from my position as president of the school committee of the religious school at my temple, after a year of a 2 year term, many years ago. It was more stress than my real job. I had done tons of volunteer work before that and never felt that way.
    It sort of turned me off from volunteering. My time is just too precious. I don't mind leading rides, but I could only do one year on the bike committee of Boston AMC chapter. I will do "one shot" jobs, but nothing long term.

    I love volunteering. But I only do things that no one else is paid to do. It all came down to my motivation for volunteering, and it was being exploited.
