Yesterday's goal was to ride 100km so I rode 50km in the morning on the way to work and then reverse the route for the commute home. Each took about 2.5hrs elapsed time so I was in the saddle for nearly 5hrs yesterday, I have the butt rash, like a baby, to prove it. Furthermore, the ride home was in 30C/86F sunny weather but there was a breeze from the east so most of the first 20km was into the breeze, the next 20km was with a nice tailwind (first 20km took 58 min, second 20km took 43 min). I put Penaten (zinc-based barrier creme for babies and babies like me) on the rash and was fine through the night and feel fine now. I didn't ride in today because we were packing for the weekend and I needed to deliver the Jeep to my wife before I walked the 20 min to my workplace.

The forecast is for 32C/90F weather on the weekend, perfect for trying out some new beers I have purchased from a local craft brewery.

Have a great weekend!!!
