Yet another uneventful ride in, a bit warmer this morning.

Yesterday it was hot enough for our national weather service ("Environment and Climate Change Canada") to issue a heat warning for our area. What was this extreme heat? 33C (about 91F). Yeah that's warm for us Northerners, considering most of us don't have air conditioning in our homes, but at this time of year, it cools off nicely at night. I bring it up because a couple of people expressed concern about me riding in such oppressive heat. Good grief. I'm pretty sure most of you south of the 49th parallel are rolling your eyes right about now. I'm happy to report that not only did I have a really nice ride home, I also saw more cyclists out on the trails than I've seen all year.

The heat warning is still in effect for today, with a forecast high of 28C (about 82F). How will I survive the ride home?

Alright, enough of my old man ranting. Have a great day. Nice to see some new posts and pics!
