Sometimes cycling is the greatest thing in the world.  And sometimes it’s not.  Today I learned a very important lesson: if it’s 90 degrees out and humid, don’t go for a 36 mile bike ride at 11 AM.  You know, because that entails riding during the hottest time of the day.  As you can see from the photo, I was quite beat when I got home.  The good news it that, now that I’ve showered and cooled off, I feel great.  But yea, next time I’ll ride in the morning or the evening.  Below are the stats from the ride (notice the average temperature):

Distance: 36.08 mi

Time: 2:20:32

Avg Speed: 15.4 mph

Elevation Gain:1,411 ft

Calories: 2,322
