On the road with the wife for a short hour ride in the heat. It's stiffling out! Rode home from a 4 day getaway last Thursday 102. Had to take a break every half hour. Was glad to get home and realize I left the window air running while gone, a happy mistake to find the house cooled. It took me a shower to cool down and several naps to get over the heat fatigue.

Too damned hot to ride today. Otherwise I would. I'm still recovering from a long hot road trip last week.

Already got 200 miles in this morning. Cruised up to Nocona, thru Muenster, St Jo and back.
Was 88 when we left at 7am and 96 when back at noon.
Not a cloud in the sky, going to be a hot, dry 4th in North Texas.

Happy 4th guys.

Beautiful cool weather (and in Phoenix!) at 6am and the obligatory Independence Day Ride, no helmet, gun in the holster for all the world to see...freedom at it's finest. ;-)

Did 100 miles in 100 degree heat. Don't know if I'd do it again though.

Went for a short one this morning before the drunkerds came out (at least most I hope). Sure were a lot of boats being pulled to the lake...glad I didn't plan on that. Happy 4th everyone.
