Free To Ride

Made it an early ride. The heat was building fast. As we finished up the bank sign, in Hopkins, displayed 100 and the dew point was already 73 at 11:30 AM. Pretty damn hot. This weather's more than just a little scary.
Despite the heat lots of riders showed up for an Independence Day ride to Lake Independence. I love the scenery up there - rolling hills, lakes, farms and low traffic roads. Very nice.
My daughter Gabrielle was on the ride, of course Amy was there, I can't really ride my bike without her. Just a nice ride, albeit hot. It's always great to ride with friends. 59/17.7

59 miles on a 100 degree day? Amazing and impressive. And even Gabrielle rode, wow! I'm really proud of her.

Nice pics, not so nice temps, looks like a good day.
