A good days' rest yesterday. The weather was picking up with 25 degrees and today even 30 degrees. The moment I rode out I was already convincing myself that 3 hours of riding would be too much. A dry southern wind and downright too hot temperatures were prohibiting. So I settled for a shorter loop, doing a little more than 2 hours and 60K. The legs felt fine and near the end the fatigue I felt due to the warmth seemed to fall off of me. I also received the 57 and 67K tracks for the upcoming Haasrode TT on the 28th of August. They look promising with the 57 netting around 900 heightmeters and the 67 adding an extra 10K loop and some 150 extra heightmeters. You can check out the tracks on my Endomondo profile. I added them on the same day as todays' ride. As I type this the clouds are getting darker, and it definately looks like thunderstorms could be a possibility. So much for the short bout of summer. Oh well, a couple of degrees less heat will suit me fine.
