Well that's a relief.
It's 7PM here. It's still like 95 degrees. But the evenings and mornings are lovely. Hoping to grind over the big Mt. Dirfis pass tomorrow (highest road on the island, goes over the top @ about 4500 feet above sea level (my ride starts at sea level). To do that I'll have to roll by 7AM, you want to be done with that climb by 10AM. Toughest climb I've ever done.
This island is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. This is my third trip riding the bike here since 2006. They have totally upgraded a bunch of the roads I cycle on here in that time. The new road to Pili was amazing today, when I was here in 2008 it was dirt, they were still building it. Today it is 7 miles of smoother than baby's butt widened ashphalt with big shoulders and straight sight lines (the old road was far more windy, narrow, bumpy, this new one is a 60 mph mini highway in a sparsely travelled rural area). All this in a nation that's going belly up. Go figure. Hey, infrastructure investment is really never a bad thing.

I'm getting a bad pain below my right shoulder blade on the side of my upper back at hour 3-4 on long hot days in the saddle. Feels like a muscle adhesion that needs to be massaged out. Anybody ever get pains like that? This has been over the past month or so. The warmer it is the worse it seems to get. I can ride through it, but it's not pleasant. Again, only really surfaces when I've been on the bike for many hours. One of the reasons I cut it short today.
Any experiences with stuff like that appreciated.
