Been driving a lot this summer to get to a starting point of a ride. Mostly because since June, we've had temperatures right at 100 degrees, plus or minus about five degrees. Only time to ride at reasonable temps is first thing in the morning. But, there's this little thing called a "job" that gets in the way of early morning rides. In the evening, by the time it cools off, the wind is howling at a brisk 15-20 knots . . . every day!
Since I'm taking a vacation day tomorrow, (maxed out on hours and am starting to lose them), I'll be headed over the hill and plan to ride up GMR and the village, since I'll have all day. If I can get my triple shifting correctly, I'm going to assault the ski lift climb. A bunch of times this summer, I've make the trek out to the ocean to ride in cool temperatures.
