I went out early today, just a nice short ride... About 14.25 miles in an hour... I wanted to get out before it got too hot... it's supposed to be in the upper 90's today. I'm not complaining about it though, I love it much more than the cold... as I always say, the heat might be uncomfortable at times, but the cold is downright painful... I'll take the heat any day.
I'll tell you when I couldn't take the heat... when I was a smoker, I just couldn't breathe on high humidity days... but since I quit smoking, I enjoy every hot day there is. I can see a move down South in my future... that is if I can't swing a move to Europe, LOL.
Even though today's ride was leisurely again, I did have a higher average MPH for the whole ride, I blame the Police for that... I was riding down Yonkers Avenue when all of a sudden, because of road work, it was only one lane with no shoulder... so I look to see how traffic was behind me and I see there's a cop car right behind me... right on my tail... luckily for me it was a decline and I could keep up with traffic if I pedaled hard enough, which I did... even if I am in my rights to do so if I have to, I never want to hold up traffic and I definitely don't want to hold up the Police, I might need them if I have a traffic incident. So thanks to the Police my top speed for today was 32.2 MPH. Ironically, I think the Speed Limit for that street is 30 MPH, LOL.
