Just got back from a slightly modified Loop 360 ride. It was very, very hot. I took a ~15 minute break about 1/2 way and ate a Clifbar. (After that, i felt a lot better.)

Biklometer thingy says:
Avg speed: 21.1 KpH
Max speed: 64.0 KpH
Elapsed time: 2 hours, 23 minutes, 45 seconds.
Distance traveled: 50.7 kilometers or 31.48 miles.

Hmm.. this would appear to be my lowest avg speed ever. Uhh well, ever that is recorded here. I think some of that stems from the city riding i was doing to get to and from Loop 360. And the heat was really taking it out of me. I just don't have the strength i had in my 20s. That, and other similarly cheerful thoughts in the same vein were nagging at me as i rode home. At least the heat relented a bit on the last 1/3 or so. (It's 31C now, but was more like 35C when i went out. It's still 51% humidty. ugh.)

I am eating a meatless, hickory smoke-flavored jerky. It is yummy.

Some point long ago, like around April 26th, i think, i went on this bike ride (the usual 360 route):

Biklometer thingy says:
