With both the Giro d’Italia and The Amgen Tour of California on TV I am hard pressed to watch the 4+ hours I have recorded and get my bike ride in this evening. Add in my continuing issues with Tracfone customer service and my time to watch is not near long enough. I never thought I would complain about too much bike race coverage on TV.

This evening’s ride was enjoyable with overcast skies, 80 degrees and a mild 7 mph ESE breeze. At times it felt cool which is unusual at this time but there is rain in the area. No serious riders were sighted.
