Man.. This has to be the hottest it ever has been here. Right now its 100F and 87% Humidity.
CTLP, GUDG, and I were planning to go riding tonight. I already told them no f'ing way... I think they're still going to go for it.
Obviously they're insane.
or
Obviously I'm a big wuss.
Man o man... I'd rather ride when its 10F out then 100F. I can't handle the heat and humidity.

I'm going for it. I do think I may be nuts for doing it, but I'm would rather die trying, than die watching. (Sorry about the corny "live for the moment" line.) Only a 10 mile sprint. Fourty five minutes of torture and three liters of water and I'll be done. A quick swim in the river to cool off and back home into my cave.
For some reason, the bike path was empty yesterday.
Well, I did it. It wasn't too bad as I was cruising on the pavement next to the river, but when I got on the trails and slowed down, I was just dripping. Then when I finished and was changing to go swimming, I don't think I ever sweat so much. By the time I got into the water to swim, I drank a full hyrdation pack and a bottle of gatorade.
Yes - it was exquisitely hot yesterday. CTLP and I took a nice jaunt through the woods dodging the thunderstorms. It was a last minute decision (right before diving into the woods) whether or not we were going to take on the potential thunderstorms, but it held out for us. It continued to not be cold while meandering through the woods. We ended up at Beach Pond (aka septic field pond) for a quick swim (or float, really). We came out smelling worse than when we went in. It's a damn shame - that used to be a nice pond.
Then, we came home to the "tree vs. electrical line" game. Personally, I was more hoping for the "eat hot dogs and drink beer" game, but that's how nature works sometimes. It was certainly exciting to watch the events, which included the tree cutting crew cutting the blown-down tree with the electricity still on. This was due to National Grid being as prompt as ever (sarcasm). Also, met some nice guys on the Exeter volunteer fire department. All in all, it was certainly an eventful day in Sticksville, USA (also known as the "Alps of Rhode Island").
