The high temp is supposed to reach 100 F this afternoon with a heat index in the 105-110 range, and it was already nearly 80 when I rode to work this morning at 6:30 am. I took it easy but was still soaked in sweat by the time I got to work. I've started rinsing out my jersey when I shower at work in the morning, and it makes a big difference in the afternoons. My jersey is dry by the time I leave and smells so much better.

It was looking like one of those rare days when I catch green lights at all the major intersections, until I got to the last one. The lady two cars in front of me was texting, fell asleep at the wheel or something and just sat there when the light turned green. That meant we had to wait through two long light cycles. The guy in the car in front of my was cussing so loud I could hear him. It was kind of funny but I was just as pi$$ed.
