Once again today was short and fast, just 92 miles and less than 2000 feet of climbing. The biggest factor today was the whether, it was 95 and the humidity was 95 percent the local news station said the heat index made it feel like 105. Most of the day it felt like we were in a steam bath. In the morning you can't see the sun because the humidity in the air is so thick, this afternoon it rained and blew very hard dropping over one inch of rain in less than an hour. It has been a wetter than usual summer in this part of the country. There are lots of old, run down homes that look like this. (nichole would probably love to get her hands on one of these as a fixer-upper) :)
The highlight today was that we found a good coffee place in town! finally. Seriously, the lack of good coffee has been such a bummer, i do miss my morning starbucks run!!! I had a large coffee smoothie with an extra shot. yummmmm....
Tomorrow the climbing begins but I'm looking forward to the challenge , I prefer to climb rather than just ride the flats.... ( I may regret saying that in a couple of days). Just five days left. wow!
