This time it’s just two rides. Good news is I’m getting acclimated to the summer heat. Bad news is I need to carry more water. Hit the Refuge for a quick hour ride a couple of days ago and back to White Ranch for another somewhat prolonged climbing session.

Not much to report on the short ride. Yesterday was hot and dry at WR though, burned through a full hydration bladder and two water bottles with about 5 miles to go. Fortunately, most of that was down hill.

Still dig the view over the city from that little cliff out cropping. Riding in the middle of the day is hot, but there aren’t many people around, so it makes life a little easier.
