Noop, not here. It was partly cloudy, a bit humid but not overly hot.
It's been fun reading everyone's responses here. I love randyjawa's reply. Yes, one can take pleasure from one's bike(s) in many different ways. I love the wrenching, been wrenching bikes and small cars for decades. Yes, the hunt and reconstruction is a rewarding challenge.
But for me at least, the ride is a unique experience, ephemeral, in-the-moment, hard to capture. It's a physical enjoyment, including the hard uphills. My opportunities don't come around as often as I'd like, so they must be savored.
