I finally got out for a ride yesterday - after suffering through three weeks of intense temperatures and humidity. (DBH and I had ridden the Cape Cod Canal July 5th and I was beginning to wonder if I was ever going to be able to ride again.)

Aside from crossing a busy road twice, I chose quiet rural back streets and had the road to myself most of the time. True to form, the Aurora gave me an awesome ride that left me wanting more-even after 16 miles. However, I had to return to work today and did not want to be hurting. With such a big gap since my last ride, I'm not in my usual mid-summer condition. It was great to get out again.
