I was off Monday for the holiday, but rode to work the next 4 days. The last two afternoon rides home, it has been 87 degrees, and after all the 100+ degree temperatures this year, that doesn’t feel hot at all. As this article points out, this year, Texas had the hottest summer ever endured anywhere in the United States, at least since they’ve been recording such things.

In spite of the record heat and the fact that I’m a 60 year old lung cancer survivor, I rode 827 miles in June, 840 miles in July, and 790 miles in August, so I think I did well this summer.

2011 days ridden to work: 152
2011 commuting mileage: 3712.5
