An unexpectedly pleasant ride in for me today- the dew point had dropped to 65F overnight, so it was still humid, but not oppressively so. the temp was ~75F. Supposed to be a bit cooler today with a high of ~98F. Hopefully the humidity will stay lower.

Not sure why I bothered, just keeping my mind occupied I guess, but I decided to count cars to see how many times I got passed from behind....71 cars in 47 minutes, over 13 miles. Fewer than I would have guessed, about 1.5 cars per minute. The major reason why I leave home at 5:45AM is to reduce exposure to traffic, and it sure seems to work. The ride home from 3:30-4:15 I would guess has about triple the volume. Still not too bad, but too heavy to bother trying to count.
