94A. Feels like 104A. 12 km to go. I'll likely cut through the woods for this last stretch. A nice option to have.

My TroyBilt Lawn Tractor looked kinda like that. It died last year at the age of 20 and I decided to out-source the lawn mowing at $55 per for 1 acre. I think that's more cost effective if we are thinking of moving in the next few years.

That's close to what I pay for the 1/4 acre lot at the office that has about 500 sq. ft. of grass. You got a deal.

For the record, it takes me 18 minutes to mow my yard and 18 minutes to trim and blow the grass off of the concrete. 36 minutes total and I still hate to do it.

It's normal for climbers to prefer the climb, I've generally preferred the climbs, even though I am slow. Long downhills can get tiring in a different way and I'm not aerodynamic.
Riding bikes has always been about climbing for me and I really miss the 8 hour rides through the mountains with friends.

So now I know I can ride 35 miles in hot conditions without a second thought. Today I consumed two peanut butter sandwiches , three liters of water and a half liter of powerade, or some such. And a pasta dinner and a large breakfast. It went a lot better. I had tailwind and shade to kick it off and tailwind and sun to finish

I mow my yard an hour at a time almost continuously, throughout the rainy season.

In all seriousness, my backyard is littered with leaves. Velo might be on to something.

Going out to ride. Man , it's hot out. Can't wait. Want to test out the new set up on the '16.
I noticed an abnormal amount earlier this week. Thinking it’s because it’s been relatively dry and hot recently. Both days last weekend were in the 90s. Hit 90 today. Forecast for tomorrow is 95.
