There were 10 of us on our group ride today and at our 8:00 a.m. start, it was only 74 degrees out, which after over a week of 90+ temps was a rare treat. Of course the humidity was high - high enough that 15 minutes into the ride, we encountered a gentle rain that lasted for about the first hour of the ride. It really felt pretty good, but my bike required a major cleaning when I got home. When the rain finally broke and the sun came out and temps were in the mid-80s with high humidity. Really pretty mostly rural route, with some gently rolling hills and except for a few short stretches on more major highways, traffic was light. I am so fortunate to have found a couple of really nice compatible groups to ride with this summer. I have learned so much from them.
