Mr Bob H's Blog: Cycling this week

On Fathers day Irit and I rode around the Santa Fe dam area for a total of 23 miles. I got in big trouble because she only wanted to ride about 12 miles, and after looking down on the computer and seeing that we had already gone 11 miles, and we hadn't even started back yet, she was concerned. As it turned out, she made it back with no problems. Afterward, we had a backyard barbeque with Lauren and Kristin. A fabulous Fathers day.

On Wednesday the 20th, I met up with Rich, Jen, Simon, and Irit. We went riding out in the Lancaster area. The girls and Simon went out to Apollo park (now minus the space capsule) and back for a total of about 16 miles, while Rich and I continued out and around the Tropico Mine, along the Kern County line. On the way back it hit 111 degrees (too hot to ride) and Rich crashed in the soft dirt on the side of the road. Luckily, he didn't have any permanent damage and we continued back home. We had about 56 miles in the 100+ degree heat.
