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

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.

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.
