The summer heat is here a little early. It was 95 degrees at the start of my ride and it was 89 at the finish. The 16 mph wind helped to spread the heat around and the low humidity (28%) helped as well. Clear skies and a 8:22PM sunset offset my late 6:32 PM start. I keep hoping the school traffic would disappear and speed my evening drive home but it has not happened yet.

An exciting moment happened around the 21.4 mile mark when I rode past a woman with a dog in the front yard. The dog wanted to chase me badly but the leash and the woman’s arm stopped his pursuit abruptly. My legs had recovered from yesterday’s early ride and I was able to keep a steady pace during the ride. I also managed to not pick up any wire in my tires.

One other biker was out and our path crossed on Old Atascocita Road. Tomorrow will be a rest day. I rode 28.88 miles today at 15.3 mph average speed and a max speed of 23.9 mph. Average cadence was 81.2 rpm. June miles are up to 315.78 and the year to date miles are 2493.49.
