Not really. Humidity and temperatures have both dropped now to a very pleasant level - but in the hot summer months humidity gets up to over 95%, and saline too. Evaporated sea. Cars rust from the top down.

To the poster who asked how things are in the desert - well, pretty nice, I still like it, but the whole island, which is quite small, is getting really overbuilt very quickly. Maybe the worldwide reluctance to lend to construction companies, and the worldwide shortage of concrete, will pause this for a little while.

Today's ride was great. Hope yours were too!
