Gorgeous day today in the Seattle area--sunny, clear, 75-ish. Beautiful 27 mile ride on the trial this morning. Still ingesting gnats, but it was so nice out I didn't care. Getting into the high 80s by Sunday (80-mile tandem ride due on Sunday), which I am not looking forward to. You guys who ride in REAL heat (by which I mean, Arizona, California, the Midwest, the South. etc.), I totally admire. Know I couldn't do it. Saw lots of ducklings today, fuzzy and yellow. Right off the end of the cute meter.
