Delightful day on the bike! When I saw that this weekend was supposed to be hotter, I feared the worst - 100 degrees and smoke. But it's more 80s-low 90s which is actually pretty comfy on the bike, because the humidity is below 40%, so sweating actually works to cool you, rather than just getting in your eyes and running off you in rivulets. I rode all by RPE, since my HR strap is buggered and the new one isn't here yet.
I took the Ritchey, and I gotta tell you - Tom Ritchey knows how to design a road bike. It does everything right, even after 25 years. I've got lighter bikes, and fancier bikes and faster bikes, but I don't have any that are better.
