The Dog Days of a Phoenix Summer

I haven’t ridden much lately.   It’s pretty hot outside.   It hit 118 degrees a couple of days ago here, which is pretty damn hot.   On a bike, in the wind, thats like 130 degrees.     I’ve done it before, and it never really turned out that great for me.

I’m not bitching;  I love it.   It beats the living hell out of snow in the winter.    You don’t have to shovel heat off your car, or your doorstep.  You don’t slide sideways into a ditch, because of heat.

These are the times for an air conditioned car.   It’s 108 today, and that’s more like it.   It’s that extra 10 degrees that’ll kick your ass on a long ride.   In another month, It’ll be time to bust out the bike and go ride a place and see something new.

Never been to Alamagordo…   Or Madrid New Mexico.   Or white sands….  I’ve been kicking those places around to ride out and have a little look-see.   I can feel a ride coming on.
