    Sounds like a hard but fun ride. I am struck by your long sleeves in July, what were the temps like. Glad to hear this was more fun than in January

    Catrin, those are arm warmers , they are cooling and protect from the sun. A lot of times when I felt really hot, I wanted to take them off, but then i put my fingers on the skin of my arm and that skin was cool in comparison!

    Remember, in places where it doesn't get warm much, when it DOES get warm, we are not used to it!

    You're a rock star! More than halfway to your goal! I know you put a lot of effort in, but you look relaxed and happy in your picture.

    Mimi, you're my hero! I'm inspired to hear about your ride and how you stuck it out. Nice going. I like the photo too.
