Cooler?

Maybe I'm just getting worse as I get older.

The sun was out strong this afternoon and the temp was 83 degrees when I finished my 20-miles worth of neighborhood laps.

And I swear I was a little cool at the start of the ride!

We are supposed to return to hot and humid tomorrow with a high of 92 degrees, so I suppose that will feel just about right to me. I'll have to try to get out in it.

You know what else would feel right?

A new helmet.

This thing I am wearing now has seen more sweat and grime than I care to imagine. As I was riding today I was trying to think about how long I have had this helmet I currently use.

Long.

I moved to the Fox Valley eight years ago and had had this helmet for at least a couple of years in Wauwatosa before that. So maybe a decade of riding in it? That's just gross come to think of it!

Time to head over to see my guys at Cranked Bike Studio of Neenah.
