To the west some dark clouds hung up there but no rain during the ride. As I pedaled along I planned spots to get out of the rain if it did come along. Yesterday the weather also include a dose of rain. The streets were damp until late afternoon so no thought of riding on the trails. The humidity was high today at 67% and the temperature hovered around 85 degrees. The 9.2 mph breeze just moved the wet air around some. When I got home my bandana was soaked with perspiration. I applied sunscreen remembering the UV rays come through clouds too.<\/p>\n<p>[wppa type=&#8221;slide&#8221; album=&#8221;241&#8243; size=&#8221;auto&#8221;][\/wppa]<\/p>\n<p>[iframe http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/383912968 470px 570px]<\/p>\n<p>[iframe http:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/trips\/1867608\/embed 95% 700px]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Riding 20.83 miles today is the longest ride in September.
