    Short ride this morning; only 9 miles. 44 for the month. Have to head to the hospital two hours away where my dad has been hospitalized, after he went into shock from hemorrhaging last night. They will try to determine the cause today. This will probably effect my riding schedule for the month...

    *hugs* for TD and TDdad

    8/1 - 20 miles
    8/2 - 20 miles (it's already 95 at 10am when I finished my ride, we are going to roast today at 112... I've NEVER see 112 before!)

    I've switched to the road bike. I feel slightly more comfortable on it each day. I seem stuck at 12.1 mph for that particular route (one major hill and a few small ones in the route, otherwise just undulating slightly) but I don't think I can push it much harder in this heat.
  • Hawkeye, AWESOME JOB!! Don't know how I missed that post. My friend from CA was at RAGBRAI too.

    Yesterday's record high was 113. Today is expected to be 115. Mr. Wonderful and I have decided to take a day off the bike today. Bleah.

    Road 17 miles tonight; 70 miles for the month. Suppose to be more cool the rest of the week, so that will help.

    Road 20 miles this morning; 91 miles for the month, thanks to the miracles of rounding. Much cooler today; hoping to ride another 15 or so tonight.

    I'm back! I had a week off the bike because of the conference, then rode three days in a row near Denver. The first day of riding at 6000 ft was tiring. <pant pant pant> but not bad. I did 20 miles yesterday and didn't really feel the elevation. We are back home (at 400 ft of elevation) tonight. Woohoo!
