We three rode in The Hottest Day of the Year ride today. In a stroke of divine irony, the temperature was 20 degrees cooler than it had been at the peak heat a few days earlier. Thank goodness, as the ride was 15 miles long and in 100+ degree weather would have been a chore. As you can see, Elizabeth didn't make it the whole way. She passed out about halfway through, napped on the bike for 20 minutes, then came awake to find herself mid-span of the Broadway Bridge. She cried for only a moment before coming to her senses and getting back into the groove of fun.
The ride had two stops: the first one involved a huge Slip-n-Slide and PB&Js; the second, watermelon. We missed out on the watermelon due to our sleeping beauty.
Next week: Bridge Pedal!
