Looks like another scorcher this week in NC, with afternoon highs in the mid to upper 90s all week. I've gotten so used to riding in the heat and humidity it hardly bothers me now. The morning commute is actually the worst for me because I hate arriving at work drenched in sweat. We have showers, but my cycling clothes are sometimes so wet that they haven't dried out by the end of the day.

My bike felt like new this morning due to a long-overdue drive-train cleaning over the weekend. I thoroughly cleaned and relubed the chain, cranks and derailleurs so they look like new. Amazing how much quieter my bike was this morning. I should do this more often.
