About the only downside of this morning’s ride was the intense heat that could melt hardened rock into flowing lava – and melt cyclists into brain-fried zombies. I was one of those zombies!
During most of the ride, we rode at the experienced/advanced pace – 16 to 20 mph.
Out of concern for my safety, my wife convinced me not to ride my bike to the meet-up spot and then back home after the ride, just to accumulate 50 miles on my 50th cycling day-in-a-row. I’m darn glad she talked me out of it, if for no other reason, the ruthless heat, which I believe was near 90 degrees with a real feel of 99 degrees. I am so blessed to have a caring wife!!
