A Tough Stretch Here

Today closes out the month of July. I won't lie about it, I am not going to miss this last month. The weather is the reason for this.

We've had a good run of hot, humid days with big rains interspersed in there which have all fallen on days I had chances to ride out in the country. Not to mention the fact of the three days in a row where we had severe thunderstorms in the middle of the night which kept me up at random times. My sleep schedule is in tatters.

July started off great, but since the heat settled in and with the rains, yeah.... Not going to miss July at all. So, now we're moving on to August and already we have gone to cooler temperatures and less humidity for a time. This is a great relief. I'm most definitely a fan.

But we will get that "dog days" stretch, I am sure, where the humidity and heat will make a return. I just hope this doesn't result in temperatures adjusted for humidity over 100°F. I've had my fill of that! Of course, Fall is coming very soon, which is my favorite time of the year to ride, so I'm looking forward to this season coming up. But before we get there, I have one thing in mind to get to. 

Stay tuned....

Yeah, was just thinking the same thing about the crummy hot & wet weather, and was planning to bug out of work a bit early with the cooler weather today....but now it's the wildfire smoke, so might be a pretty short ride after all (if I go out). Grrrrrr
