I do believe that this past weekend marks the first time EVER I've had to layer clothing for a bicycle ride in July. Both of my weekend rides -- a mid-afternoon ride on Saturday and a late-morning ride on Sunday -- featured temperatures in the upper 60s that required more than the usual summer wardrobe of cycling shorts and jersey. My Saturday ride was the worse weather of the two, with slightly stronger winds and even a short bout of light rain.
Both rides were shortened by other personal obligations I had to attend to. (Can you believe that I have other things to do than ride a bicycle?) ;-) A string of such obligations, coupled with sub-par weather, has limited my mileage so far in July. I have one more weekend to go and perhaps a weekday evening or two -- assuming that the rainy weather pattern can change.
Overall, I now stand at 647.2 miles, needing 352.8 miles to reach 1,000 miles for the seaons, but only 244.3 miles to reach 3,000 miles for my cumulative "One for All" effort.
