7/29/12, Wingdale loop, 22.2mi, 1LFC, C1302.6, 130%

After grey rainy weather most of the day, it turned beautiful in the late afternoon, got out around a quarter past 5. Overcame reluctance because still sore from last night's marathon barn jam at Bart & Linda's, but glad I did. Passed 1300 miles/year.

7/22/12, Amenia-Kent, 47.8mi, 1.75LFC, C1265.8, 127%

Beautiful day. Got out before 10am but still hit some heat. Mild cop-out on way back from Kent, went 55/22 rather than up & over Quaker Hill. But, still Harmony Hill on the last leg so not so much a cop-out really.

Most of the ride on the glorious Lake Leelanau bike trail. Worth moving to the Traverse City area just to commute on that trail. With old friends dotting the route. Click for link to map

Not much time so a short ride late in the afternoon. Perfect weather, past the heat of the day. Barely any cars on the road.

7/7/12, Dutchess-Putnam-Westchester, 47.6mi, 3LFC, C1129.8, 113%

Left before 7 so beat most of the heat though not all of it. The route south was quite hilly and I wasn't sure how that would be as it got hot so zipped back up much easier NY22. Good shoulder most of the way which alleviated riding next to gassy loud vehicles.

7/4/12, Amenia-Kent-S. Kent, 50.4mi, 2LFC, 1082.2, 108%

Got out before 10am but that was not early enough to beat the mid-day heat after noon (it's about 90F now). Took a couple of segments I hadn't gone on before -- Sand Hill Rd. and South Kent Rd. between Bulls Bridge and Gaylordsville CT -- a much nicer way to go than 7. Then up to the top of Quaker Ridge just before Meeting House Rd.
