I call poppycock. Planes fly in and out of Merida at those temps.

It turns out it's indoor cycling, which I suspect is spinning but BYOB. No thanks.

Slightly more interesting is the Aquabike:

Still, I will pass.

Finally, a selfie in front of Barcelona'a Arc de Triumf:

Hasta luego, amigos.

They can't be fully loaded at those temperatures. Also depends upon ground altitude and how fast the plane has to climb to get over surrounding mountains and other things like that.

Does the air get thinner? Less buoyant? I guess I could look it up but where's the fun in that?

I knew I could count on you, Robert. Great explanation. I wonder if the humidity here makes the difference. At sea level and surrounded by water.

Just had "coffee" (keurig).

Trying to get motivated to commute in.

I had a 4 shot Americano. I figure as long as I can get it all in one 16oz. cup, it only counts as one cup of coffee. Right?

Motivation = none

That's a personal choice. I find it easier to track down that little staple or goathead thorn when I do.

As [MENTION=406877]PepeM[/MENTION] can appreciate, I had a song stuck in my head for parts of my ride today, and I occasionally belted it out. What the whippersnapper probably can't appreciate is the song itself - bonus internets kudos for anyone that can non-google identify the show that made the song famous.

"Maybe, there's a world where we won't have to run, and
Maybe, there's a time we'll call our own,
Living free in harmony and majesty!
Take me hooome,
Take me home."

Yes, I will not deny that it's an odd song to have wedged in to one's head.

Good ride today. Plenty of wildlife. I spotted a ton of Quail (all the baby quail are really young, so ****z out behind the moms instead of following in straight lines), a roadrunner AND coyote.

Ran out of water, since my 100 oz bladder sprung a leak I tried to make do with a 64 oz bladder + 21oz bottle. Ran out about 6 miles from home :(

Hey there, stranger. For a few minutes, sure, I am in the house. White bike is done. I have to figure out how to get phone pics into my Flicker, so I can post up shots. It is riding well, and I have been riding again, so things are decent.

New job has me working from 5 am to 7:30 pm every day. I like the company, and the guys I work for, but holy cow is this draining. It has me to the point that I am contemplating temporary unemployment to enjoy the youngest's last summer in high school.

Hope all is well with everyone.
