Thought I'd share this wonderful field of sunflowers I came across on my ride this morning--they were so incredibly beautiful!

I pedaled in the sun so bright,
hot, sweating, and losing power.
When all at once I saw a sight!
A host of golden sunflowers!
Beside the road down by the sea,
they brought much joy to tired ole' me.

    Not at all! In fact, it is so much more comfortable than the original seat. No horn really helps with relieving pressure.

    Took me 2 hours this morning--not bad but slower than I've been--it was just too hot to push too hard.
