And it's August! Not peak UV, but still pretty high! So I got home as quickly as I could. I suppose I could have bought one of those little squeazy tubes of sunscreen at a store, but am I going to leave the Litespeed outside a store to be stolen? HELL NO!!!! So, 32 miles. I suppose that, with yesterday's ~28 that's not too bad for a weekend. Less than I wanted, though.

But at least now Rango will get his walk.
I always carry a little plastic bottle of sunscreen. Sometimes I really need it and I let others use it, too. My nose peels if I neglect it and my other skin is starting to look like a barbequed potato chip.
