That doesn’t sound like much fun at all but you got the miles in.
We are hitting the 90s where the seasonal average is the 70s. We aren’t well acclimated for 90+ so got in a short morning hill climb workout. Did a piddling 20 miles with 1,600’ gain. With one long climb at 14 to 16% which kicked my @$$. Ran into the wife of a friend, whom I never met, while she was walking her golden doodle. Then ran into a fellow Stravaite doing his workout. Then encountered a guy doing his first bike packing trip and was heading home. He had a good time even though he encountered rain in the desert. Then saw a guy bombing the 2 mile steep hill I came up who looked, hair and all, like SAFA. Very social ride.

Twenty miles this morning. Twenty five last Thursday and twenty three days earlier. I'd like to do a fifty miler before the end of the fall but at the age of seventy five I find it more and more difficult to do long distances without being totally wiped out.

42 yesterday, 64 today.
Been doing a bunch of 20-40 mile rides all year, building up now for a century in a month or so.

This fall will be it will be a mess. I’m not sure of their schedule. From the Yorktown NP to the Victory Center it was closed for construction. I had to the turn around at Queens Lake today but there is a sign about Jamestown. I’ll just stick to Cap Trail, upper Gloucester and seek some more Gravel up in King & Queen area. And mountain bike.

Another warm one in Seattleville. Did 3/4 road 1/4 gravel. 28 flat ones staying in the shade for 1/2 of the ride. Saw Yaks - below and an interesting would carving on the river side where native Americans used to inhabit.

I decided to get a ride in while I wait for the winds of this hurricane to come by for a few hours tomorrow. The humidity was so thick and heavy, at 9 pm, it was 86 outside, but felt like 98. So inside ride for me. Luckily I will not get the full force, so I hope everyone has taken precautions as they need to. I don't know how you folks do the multiple mountain passes, my legs are burned up today. Got in 34 miles and 5900 ft of ascent. Painfully long time to be on a trainer, but I pushed through and got it done.

I didn't even plan to ride today because the weather wasn't that great. However, things turned around and at 4:00pm I set off and ended up doing 32 miles. Not bad for a day that was originally going to be zero miles day.
