Vocat Aestus In Umbram
I’m still deploying a modified Winter schedule – fencing in the Morning & riding in early Afternoon – despite the grim fact that it’s 92° and up by the time I’m tackling the road. It still feels better at noon than it does at 7 AM. The traffic patterns are a little more forgiving too, despite the incident today involving a fool exiting a gas station with no regard for a marked bike-path. The old Titans’ Stadium loop still a comfort.
There was almost nobody out there today – heat I’ll bet called everybody into the shade. Even tho my legs yearn for & are capable of a good metric century, all the energy I’m expending to keep myself from overheating deals me 31 mile rides. I’m embracing it.
Flat today to avoid any rainy hills & a new police murder scene on Shelby [sigh]. Flat it was but energetic:
