The best laid plans sometime do not come together. My plan for today was to go biking after the Vuelta a Espana stage 6 finished. Well the remodeling project took care of that. First the plumber came to finish the toilet installation that failed yesterday when we opened the box and found a badly damaged toilet. Off to Lowes for the replacement. After the plumbers left then the shower installers came but an hour later than scheduled. In addition my wife and I began cleaning the kitchen and breakfast area from all of the dust and other debris. All of this came to end so I rolled out the driveway at 2:11 headed to Huffman. I thought with the late start 30 miles was about the right distance and I ended up riding 30.59 miles at a 15.7 mph average speed. August miles increased to 784.16 and year to date I have biked 5035 miles.

Starting late put me in the heat of the day which was 95 when I left and 94 when I finished at 4:47. Wind was not a factor today and the mostly cloudy sky meant the sun was in and out. Friday will be hot as well with 99 degrees and partly cloudy sky. I will try to leave earlier than today.
