The temps were in the mid to upper 80's, skies overcast (thank goodness) and the humidity levels sky high. I rode a new route today, very scenic and very little traffic to deal with as I explored a new section of my county. I was looking for a 45 mile route for a ride I'm hosting next week for the LBC and in the end this new route ended up being 48.5 miles. I think I'm going to use it even though it is 3.5 miles over what I put on the schedule. So with my commute to the starting point and the new route I got in an enjoyable 50 mile ride. Along the way the skies even managed to offer a refreshing shower.
