Relatively moderate day temperature and humidity wise so got out on Sunday morning and rode around Richmond. This part of the day was just under 50 miles. While in Louisville a couple of weeks ago went with the family to Steel City Pops and they were pretty good . So went to try this place in Richmond, It was pretty good too, and good on a hot day. Rode a number of places in the area before and after...was out for four hours and enjoyed getting my knees in the breeze.
After going home to watch the NASCAR race and relax got back out for night ride...a buggy night ride out in the country but still fun, Rode up and back via Highway 5 with some backroads tossed in. While not as long as the earlier ride the distance was longer (fewer stops though did stop at Malvern Hill Battlefield) and was out for around 90 minutes. Total distance from the ride(s) was 97.5 miles from the day.
As I write this on Monday after two very good days of riding, the temperature in Richmond is at a feels like level of 100+. Think I am going to do some things around the house today. Riding into heat like that is like riding into a furnace. Was blessed with more moderate weather this past weekend.
