Sounds like some intrigue down at the ABC.

Well I'm pretty darn happy today. After a loooong weekend of traveling to and from a wedding, I'm back on the bike this morning. Off to south Georgia for a meeting tomorrow, then back home to hopefully get some sleep.

Yet another evil monday.
I ended up with a flat caused by a strand of thick copper wire.
Pulled off into a park and spent 30 minutes fighting with my rear tire that have never been removed from its rim. I just love removing a tire for the first time :(
Then while inflating the new tube the spare's valve broke. ugh
I patched the original tube and repeated the whole process. At least the tire was easier to remove the second time. Consequently, I was an hr late.
I am now going to purchase a different brand of tubes and carry 2 instead of one. Than goodness for patch kits.

Pretty decent ride this morning. The trail wasn't as busy as usual, but that might have something to do with the humidity and heat. Hopefully the ride this evening won't be a killer. I did manage to shave a few minutes off the time in this morning (don't know how I did that), but I'm sure this evening will make up for those few minutes.

I too was late this morning, not changing my own flat but helping a driver change hers. One of the other patients at my chiropractor this morning had a flat on her RAV/4. Her husband was there trying to change it when I came out, and since they were both dressed for the office, I offered to help.

I should know better by now--never assume that the work the other person has done is correct. I got the tire off, went to put the spare on, and the car wasn't high enough. He says, "Oh, I used my jack from my car! Probably not tall enough." Sigh. Get the SUVs jack out, jack the car, still not high enough. At this point I get the owner's manual out. You have to place the jack on the suspension arm, not the chassis! Thank God we had the second jack or we'd have been SOL.

Anyway, my good deed must have paid off karmically, as the commute after all that was easy and no one hassled me at all.

My goodness.
Our camry's passenger right rear tire flatted out the week before. I'm getting sick of tire issues.

Anyhow, y'all are making me look bad. I need to find a motorist to help out.

Great ride in today; dropped the kids, and their trailer, at 8am; 'no way I can make it to my desk by 8:30', my nominal goal. Then I got in at 8:31, so I was pleased. Also ran into the other person who bike-trailers kids to the daycare, so we got to chat a bit.

I ride in on the Nose Creek pathway and there were a few downed trees near the zoo and another in the downtown area along the river side. Some nice winds we had going on yesterday.

usual ride in today, no issues, concerns, praise, or complaint!

put an extra 22.0 mile extra return in this "heat - wave" in s nj to show by example it can be done (cranked 2166.9 miles this year, 258.1 miles this month, with 8 non-commute by bike days/2006 so far)!

it was significantly hot (+sweat), but do-able. had 1 old cager male cut me off at a left turn (signal displayed), rest went well, and ended day with swim in local river, then weights, closing with a few beers and tomatoe sandwhiches.

life is good!

hot really hot @ 0515 it was still in the mid 80s and 90% humidity. I guess it could be worse I could go to work at 1200

Wet! See attached radar. I rode through that. It's too hot for a rain jacket, as I discovered. Glad to be at work in an air-conditioned building!

MUP population density, persons per mile, 0.4. :D

Last night: The heat index said it was 103, I actually stopped halfway and switches to a cooler shirt. Went through both water bottles, but otherwise, the commute was nice. Im sure I got a nice tan, or burn:)

This morning: Good ride in, it was about 75, sunny, light breeze. Course, tonight's supposed to be hotter then yesterday. Time to start hydrating :)

Ride home last night was fast.. just one of those afternoons when you get out of the office and feel compelled to get away as fast as you can :). Dusted off the tandem and took the misses out for an evening downtown tour. Looked like rain, it sprinkled a tad but never rained. All in all a great ride.

This morning was a cool and cloudy 58f on the way to the office. Nothing special of note... just a nice ride in. People keep asking if I really rode my bike today. Guess maybe I should have checked the forcast before I came in..

Rain. OMGWTFBBQ rain. Six or more inches of water on the roadways rain. And lightning, lots of lightning.

My wife was up reading until 1:00 a.m. and kept me awake. I need caffeine... I think I rode my bike today...

Crazy. It was 113° a few days ago. This morning's ride required a light jacket, as it wasn't yet 60° when I left. Absolutely lovely ride in. I wish I were still riding, instead of being here in front of the computer.

Another hot one in Atlanta. Supposed to be ~96F (36C) this afternoon with a code orange smog alert. :eek:
Only saw 3 commuters this morning. Are the high temps and smog alert keeping everyone off the bike and in their cars? Not me. I just unzip the jersey and get as much "natural" cooling as possible. :)

Nice cool ride. I've been taking a very direct route lately rather than my more recent meandering. Bike lane on 4-7 lane (depending on where/how you count) much closer to cars, but smoother than bike path, give or take all the broken glass.

A new bakery opened across the street from my kids' daycare. Closed Mondays, and I had too much food this am to justify it, but I think tomorrow I will stop there for some, uh, more breakfast after dropping them off.

Nice cool morning. I kept my armwarmers on the whole time. Second day in a row I've ridden my Caldaro, my neo-retro bicicletta Italiana. Not exactly a commute bike but it's nice weather, I'm only carrying a shoulder bag, and it just begs for a few more km. I'll ride the bomber tomorrow when I pull the kids in the trailer.

Still 85 degrees F when I rode home at midnight. Today the heat index is 110. we're not used to that kind of heat here--it's about all people are talking about. I stop at the airconditioned library midway on my commute to cool down.

I moved to a great new apartment last week. Same commute--just 1/2 mile further.

http://emoticons4u.com/cool/1245.gif WOW!! I went out to grab some lunch and it was hot as ****! I'm glad I only rode 0.9 mile (each way) to Whole Foods. My Docker shorts were soaked when I got back. :eek:

Great ride this morning, almost chilly in shorts and short sleeves. Sure beats the recent triple digits. Took the dirt trail option...quiet and no cagers for 1/4th of my 12 miles. :) A great way to start the day!

This morning I got thunderstorms. This afternoon, well, I'm leaving in about 20 minutes, and here are the current conditions:

Temp: 92F
Dewpoint: 77F
Index: 106F

And a good tailwind, which is bad for cooling purposes.

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. :rolleyes:

I was cut off by a bull this morning. Thankfully I was on the brakes at the time.

did a loooong commute today I had chores to get done in holland strapped all the crap to the rack and rode back to allendale cool thing was a might my neighbor at a local coffee shop he filled me up with organic lemonade don't think I could do any better I love the fact of having a beater I don't have toworry about so much ( I just need to get home on it thats all ) having a rack is so pleasing then I dont have to pay some one to take me out some where or having to go get the car from the parents got to get groceries tonight no panniers yet for the rack so I might be strapping a grocery bag to the top of the rack. Any one ever get called a messenger while on their bike is this a good thing or not?

Another 100 degree day. Was not that bad 4 miles 1 way. I had a tail wind which ment that there was no breeze in my face.
