(Chatnoire, so sorry to hear of your accident. Hope you are feeling a little better and that your recovery will be speedy.)

I really wanted to ride yesterday and had planned to head out shortly after breakfast.

However, though it was overcast much of the day, the humidity was horrific. I opted instead to use that time slot to clean the corral...and save the ride for today when it would be drier. At least if I became overcome by the heat I could stop what I was doing and return to the house.

The humidity was lower today, but the temperature soared near 90. I managed to get an early start and was pleased to log 20 miles of pleasant riding on many tree-lined roads. (I drank two large bottles of water...should I be carrying anything different in this oppressive weather?)
