I started my ride a little later this morning than usual. I didn’t hit the road until after 8 AM. I just felt like enjoying the extra hour of sleep. Plus, now that it isn’t so hot one of the primary reasons for starting super early has been removed.

Anyway, I did 41 miles with an average speed of 16 mph. It was a fairly hilly route, particularly at the beginning and then right at the end again, which kind of hurt.
