Rode my touring bike today and loaded it up with clothes. I've been riding my racing bikes to work mostly over the summer and can't carry as much gear. Normally I restock on rainy days when I drive but we have been in a persistent drought for about a month now. The weather is great for bike commuting but not so good for the farmers and water supplies. We've now completely destroyed the record for 90-degree days in a year. The previous record was 83 in 2007. We're now up 87 days, and the next 4 days are supposed to top 90 as well.
