Yesterday, in Argyle, Texas, I did my 22d bike rally of the year and my 418th overall. It was the first year for this rally, so I didn’t know what to expect. The terrain would probably be familiar, since I’ve done the nearby Flower Mound and Keller rallies many times, but it remained to be seen how well organized the rally was. The weather at this time of year can be anything from hot to frigid. It turned out to be warm (the high temperature for the day was 88° Fahrenheit) and humid. The sun never came out. Whenever I felt inclined to complain about the muggy weather, I reminded myself that I could be running instead of bicycling. It would be truly awful to do a long run in such weather. I’ve done quite a few of them, so I know whereof I speak.
