On Friday, 22-Aug-03, I rode to work, then to a doctors appointment. I decided to take a little detour on the way back to work. This detour turned out to be 15 miles out of the way. It was a nice ride, but I was pretty beat and sweaty as I ran out of water and it was over 90 F with high humidity. I ended the day with 40 miles under my belt. It was a good present to myself for my 43rd birthday.
