Today was another beautiful day for biking. It was sunny to partly cloudy. The temperatures were comfortable in the morning but by noon the heat and humidity were quite noticeable.Today's 70 mile route was a bit shorter than some days so we took our time meandering through the countryside. Our SAG stop was at a farm so it was fun to talk with the farmer. He sold his dairy cows two years ago and now raises heifers and corn and soybeans. We were kept on our toes by the 58 turns that were involved in our ride today.
We stopped at a Velodrome, which is a race track for bicycles. Sides of the track are banked so that you can use the grade to pick up speed. We tried it a bit and enjoyed the feel of the banked sides.
A band of thunderstorms are nearing Indianapolis now. Sure glad we finished our ride several hours ago.
Nice pic of Major Taylor Velodrome! I've heard about it for many years, but never made it the 3.5 hours to see it! :-(
ReplyDelete... Glad to hear that you're surviving the "friendly" humidity! :-)
