Tom fixing Ed's flat tire before today's ride |
Hot, hot, hot, brutally hot! Cycling in South Florida this time of year is liken to running a marathon in a sweltering inferno somewhere in the depths of Hades. Today’s bike ride was a perfect example of the remorselessness of our mid-summer climate.
Without a hint of exaggeration, the heat and humidity in these sub-tropics basically sucks the life right out of you. Having spent most of my life in these parts, I’m still not accustomed to the suffocating summertime weather.
My wife and I are looking forward to our upcoming vacation in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, where we are hoping that a smidgen of relief awaits our arrival.
Someone remind me to pack our jackets – that is if I can find them.
