Another hot muggy day ahead. It was already 80 F when I left for work at 7 am. I had a headwind all the way to work, which helped cool me off but also slowed me down. Today will probably be my last commute of the week. Forecasters are calling for widespread thunderstorms tomorrow, and I'm heading out of town for a bike tour on Friday. I am riding the Erie Canal trail from Buffalo to Albany, NC, with several friends next week. We'll start on Sunday and ride about 60 miles a day. Do bike touring miles count as commute miles? My "job" next week will be riding from town to town on my touring bike with loaded panniers.
