111 heat index here today. I have ridden maybe 10 miles in two weeks. I miss my bike. I can't ride when it's over 95 degrees, heat index over 100. Just can't. I did swim one afternoon.
But, I hear that tomorrow is only 94 and after that in the 80's. I plan to ride as much as I can this week. I have two cycling advocacy events early in the week, and they will end at night. Those will be some of my first night rides. I have only done one night ride so far.
I am especially looking forward to fall's cooler weather and a new bike fit right to me.
