Today’s ride:

Good ride today, out at 7:00 AM. Temp was already 80 degrees and the humidity very high. Met Dick Davidson at 7:15 took the S.W. Trail to Mandarin Estates then on to Panera Bread for breakfast. I had a pastry an Iced Tea, refilled my bottles with ice and water. Did the usual ride through Heathrow then out to the horse farms, saw a group of 8 turkies alomg the road. Turned around at the end of Mallard Rd and headed to Sylvan lake road which is now open then to the Marcum Trail Head then home. Feels like temp was 101 degrees when I got home. The new seat that I bought this week is going to take some getting used to. My sit bones are really sore.
