DH took DS to the airport at 5 AM, for his flight back to LA, so since I was getting up to say goodbye, I decided to ride. Today and tomorrow are going be 95+ degrees, with humidity, and I knew I would not be going on the hilly 35 mile group ride! It was a perfect temperature, 75, though it felt soaking from the start. I did a bit over 15 miles. I am noticing that I feel the need for caffeine when I ride this early, although I never have coffee before any exercise in the morning, no matter how early, as it upsets my stomach. The feeling eventually goes away, but it's strange how this developed all of a sudden.
Noticing how much darker it is at 5 AM . I had to use my "big" light, as it was still fully dark when I left. I wish the solstice was at the end of July, instead of June!
