Extremely hot and muggy this morning, already 80 F at 6 am. The TV station I usually watch was forecasting showers all afternoon, so I was thinking about driving, but the National Weather Service and other stations were much less certain about the rain. NWS is calling for 30% chance of showers, and I'll take those odds, so I decided to ride after all. Got off to a late start with all my dithering about the forecasts, so I kept a fast pace for the second morning in a row. It was so hot and humid that I arrived at work totally drenched in sweat. I was trying to beat my time from yesterday, my fastest YTD, but got caught by nearly every red light, which has a way of destroying your average speeds.
