Geez, Tater, it sure heated up fast! I just got back from a short not-quite-nine mile jaunt, and it's 86 degrees already! (at 10:15) You probably rode much earlier than me, lucky you!

Mine was a trip home from dropping the car off for service, but it was only three miles by the time I got home, so I thought I'd tour the neighborhood some. Two hills on the way home, made a circle that took me back to a point about half way up the second one, and when I got close to the house again, looked at the odometer and said to myself, oh, what the heck, I'll go another mile!

I swear, hills are the oddest thing: I can be miserable on the way up, but hit that crest and stop climbing, and WOOHOOO! I'm good to go for another however far!
