Enjoy your ride! Worry that our blue sky will turn to dry & hot with range land and forest fires by end of June ...

My first May ride was in my living room last night. It was so humid, I had to force myself to do 45 minutes. It was my tapering ride before the Tour de Cure on Saturday, which is only 62 miles -- a distance I rode last weekend -- but is hillier than what I'm used to and definitely more ambitious than my usual riding for early May. So I just wanted to spin a bit without wearing myself out.
And now the indoor trainer goes into storage for the summer.
