It's too hot...........

Went on a 18+ mile ride with Gary at 5 pm this afternoon, not sure what the temp was then but it's currently 87*, feels like 96* with 64% humidity so it's way too hot to be out there. Decent ride for me, it always takes 5-10 miles for me to loosen up and it happened right around mile 5.35 today. We didn't have as many hills today as the last time we rode but there was one that seemed like it was never going to end. I told Gary it ranked up there with the one out of Floyd but he said it was worse so you know it was bad. The good news--I didn't have to use my granny gear today!!!!!! Even on a hill that I had to use it on last week! Happy Dance!!!

Its nice to feel the improvement when you can use a bigger gear on the same hill. Just means your getting stronger and that mean faster!
