Hi Knottedyet, it IS hot.
I did 18.6 miles south of Seattle, the interurban trail. I was just flying, 18mph.
Then i noticed the trees were all pointing in the direction i was going!!! TAILWIND! so I turned around and got a real workout going home.
Saw some flickers, two osprey and a tiny little garter snake.

When i got my bike out this morning, I noticed the brakes were rubbing! Called hubby who told me how to fix it... (he's in Yakima shepherding the Cascade 1200 people)
Then I fixed my toestraps. BIG difference DUH. No problem getting into them or out of them. no toeing in either.
WHEW.

now for a day of trying to stay cool.
