Great ride to work this morning, with low humidity and temps in the mid-60s. The whole week looks good in NC until we get to Friday, when Hurricane/Tropical Storm Hanna is supposed to hit. That will throw a damper into your cycling.

Last week was my lowest cycling week of the year -- only 14 miles when I've been averaging about 150 miles/week since Jan. 1. First I had to take my truck into the shop for its annual service. Then I had to go out of town for 3 days, while TS Fay was dumping 4-10" of rain across the state. After I returned on Friday, went to the coast for the weekend with my wife on a kayaking trip we had planned for a while. Despite that glitch in my schedule, I still managed to top 600 miles for August even though I only rode one day in the last week of the month. Amazing how you can pile up the miles commuting, as I would have easily topped 700 for the month if my schedule wasn't so screwed up the last week.
