Tornado warning sirens just went off. It looks like it's going to be one of those nights.
The sky is a lovely shade of green, though.

Spent an hour in the family room in the basement till the storms passed through and the tornado warning cleared. Tornado that was supposedly spotted was about 20 miles NW of us and coming our way but fizzled before it got here so all we got was heavy rain and light hail. They did clock 70 mph winds at the peak.
All and all, pretty generic July storm.

Photo album of the trip:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/105349603@N05/
Click on the first one and advance manually using the arrow to the right.
Flikr's editor is being replaced so I cannot add descriptions right now.
Odometer read 822 miles at the end, which included trips to grocery stores, etc. I think it was running a hair over depending on which mile marker you believed, so I will to say total mileage was likely between 780 and 800.
That sunset photo at the lake with the mountains in the background was taken close to 10 p.m. on the solstice. It stays light out late at that time of year.

So this evening they posted the split times for yesterday's TT.
Guess who rode the most even splits of the day? Yours truly. Splits were within 3 seconds of each other.
Usually the return leg is slower on this course because it's uphill. I was assisted by a tail wind on the way back, which made even splits easier, it kind of equalized the two legs of the course.
But still: 3 seconds! That's some pretty even pacing. Happy with that, the data makes me geeky. ❤️
