Hot ride in today, but it was still a pleasant change after having to take the car in monday and ride cramped up in airplanes yesterday. The temperature was already in th 80s at 7:00. I am ready for fall to arrive when it finishes it's sweet time in coming! I had a much heavier load this morning and found I took around 10 minutes longer than usual. I figure I just got a longer workout so it was not a total loss (I think 4 days off the bike may have had something to do with it as well). Anyway, all in all it was a pleasant ride in even though I dropped a water bottle just around the corner from my house and had to go back to refill!
