Fourth of July rides, anyone?

Not today, unfortunately. It's been raining all day and I wasn't sure I'd be home to get a shower before I had to go in to work. I'm definitely getting a ride in tomorrow...and I'll be taking the cross bike!

It's so hot here, and there's no end in sight. Usually, this type of weather lasts about 3 days here, but as far as I can see, it will be like this through next week. So, I did ride today, but no 50 mile ride, like I thought I would do. It's my first time out in 2 weeks, and today was the first day I woke up feeling pretty good, after my sinus infection, and various other things that happen when I get sick. We went out at 9:30 and did 20.5 miles, just around Concord and Carlisle, sticking to the shadiest routes. Like Emily, we saw tons of riders of all kinds. The PMC training is coming to a frenzy, with the ride in a couple of weeks. I will be glad when they are done because every August, the roads around here get quieter. And like Indy, I am not doing as much riding, but I am happy with my fitness level, thanks to boot camp.
I really don't know how those of you who live in 90+ degrees and humidity ride in these temperatures. I will acclimate, but I am going out at 6 AM tomorrow.
Picture on the way home... we hadn't seen the cows in awhile and now they are back.
