wow does it ever get too hot to ride home (seattlelite thinking that over 88 degrees would kill me!)

I don't commuttee with my current job, but we try and plan short rides in july and August, as well as get an early start (like 7:00 am Sunday morning)

Did a lunch time ride today with an interesting group. There were 4 of us...two fast A riders, me (standing solid in the B court) and a girl who is new to riding but is a triathlete. I kept up well, but felt the need to not let the new girl fall too far behind. She hasn't gotten the hang of hills yet.

I almost ran over a groundhog as he swerved to avoid being hit by a truck...but no other incidents. We did 18.7 miles in just over an hour and it was FUN!

Yet anonther beautiful day to spend some time on my bike. Skies are blue, temps in the mid-80's, humidity is still low and a very slight breeze is blowing. I had planned to only ride about 20 miles today but once I got out on the road, settled in I decided to ride a little further. I explored a couple of new roads and ended up simply wandering around my county for about 2 hours. I got in 32 miles and averaged 16.1 mph today.

I got in 20 miles. First day that I rode in over 80 degree weather. I found a hill so steep that I was afraid to look at my spedometer! I KNOW what 25 mph feels like and it was faster than that. On the return trip, I almost made it up the hill. I got nervous, unclipped and lost my momentum. All with only 50 yards to go! The rest was fun and more hilly than usual for me. I live in a pretty flat land so any hills are a challenge. I am just starting to get the hang of when to change and which chainring to be on.

I rode 10 miles yesterday evening at Kiawah. I had a busy day and just kind of did the ride because I knew it was on my schedule. My legs were killing me from leg day at the gym. Luckily, today is off day and I'm taking a golf lesson. Woo-hoo! It's getting nice and toasty here -- in the 90s today and the real feel is 94 with 71% humidity -- lower than the humidity usually gets, so I'll take it.

Ya'll be good and have a Happy Friday!!
