Ride home last night was incredibly hot and muggy, 89 if I recall and about 75 percent humidity. Really off the charts. Had a bit of a headwind too. I just took it easy.

This morning ... holy headwinds. 15 - 20 mphs headwinds the entire way to work, though I did get a little shelter at times while on the MUP. Dramatic temp decrease too, was only 64 this morning. Had a hard time getting up and convincing myself to ride today, sort of hemmed and hawed after the alarm went off. I finally remembered I'd cross 900 miles this year by riding to work today, so that sealed it. Then I walked outside and almost bailed when I heard/felt the wind. Will likely take tomorrow off and ride Friday. Would make for my first four-day commute week this year I believe.
