Consecutive bicycle work commute number 767:
Went out early for my 3 mile walk/run. Temp was 76F degrees with about 90% humidity. It was so sticky that about two miles in I had to take my sunglasses off because they completely fogged over.
Over the weekend I got the parts I needed to fix the bottom bracket on my good road bike, so I was able to ride it today. Arrived at the client's location completely drenched in sweat to the point where I could wring it out of my clothes. Thankfully I got there early and could clean up and change into my work clothes before too many people saw me.
Heat index is supposed to be well over 100F this afternoon so I'm going to need all the easy pedaling advantage the road bike gives versus my other bikes. I'm not complaining about the temp, though, as this was the weather I was praying for in February (when it was 126 degrees colder than today!)
