It's really hot. And humid. I rode 57 miles today.

Did I mention that it's windy? Wind turns a bicyclist into a blubbering idiot. (I said that, one time, to Al and Diane Bean, and Al, ever the inquisitive one, asked, "How will we be able to tell when that happens?") Today the wind was in our faces until we got to the turn-around point, at the Charles City County courthouse. If there has to be wind, it's lots better when the tailwind helps out on the second half of a ride!

Did I mention that it's really hot? And humid? While I sat, collapsed, on the screened porch, drinking a cold mixture of water and Gatorade, I enjoyed looking at the sundrops. They're in full bloom!

(Here is where I would have inserted a picture of the sundrops, had my computer cooperated. They are in full bloom! Bright yellow! Beautiful! Trust me.)
