Hot, Hot, Hot!

The need to officiate at a funeral early this afternoon means that the 200k I had planned for today is not going to happen.  I can’t say that I’m unhappy about that.  Temperatures at 5:30 am were 80° F and upper 90’s are forecast for today.  I have a friend who is riding a 200k today.  I’m tracking his progress through his Garmin 810.

We had a good showing for the early morning ride, and we really didn’t push it much because of the heat.  Still, we were drenched by the time we arrived in Annapolis for breakfast.  Leaving breakfast was even more of a challenge.  No one wanted to leave the air conditioning and push back to Severna Park.  I kept the ride short because of the other obligations on the day, and ended up with only 27 miles.
