We only hit 102 today as a result of some morning showers.

I have stuck with my bike all summer, and don't even think about using the car anymore. People think I'm crazy though so this is not a recommendation.John Romeo Alphahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289456379789026152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-84182196990624851822011-08-29T17:25:13.529-05:002011-08-29T17:25:13.529-05:00Chandra is hard core, but I bet that new folder he...Chandra is hard core, but I bet that new folder helped, too. Big Oak didn't mention that 98 around his parts is like 110 around DFW. Pondero will have me getting studded tires! I felt the same way as vesee, especially when I was sick and it was extra hot. I have a fix for Justin and he knows what it is, and it'll soon be a frigid 95 around here. I would have missed days for sure if I had to leave home in 105F heat as jtgyk does. In summer, it pays to work first shift. As for Jon, his epic commute streak is one of my inspirations, though I have zero chance of duplicating it.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-50329264917794548232011-08-29T10:43:54.983-05:002011-08-29T10:43:54.983-05:00I've missed my commute, these past 6 weeks or ...I've missed my commute, these past 6 weeks or so. After 4+ years in a row, having to stay off the bike due to injury is really annoying.<br /><br />I kinda like the hot commutes, in Denver.

It means I'm sleeping better, sure, but it also means I'm less likely to leave my sweet, sweet air conditioning to go do anything else for the rest of the day (and that's a bummer)<br /><br />And as sick as I am of second place, it is looking that way. High of 92 predicted for Friday? Hasn't that been the <i>low</i> for a while now?
