32.5 °C; Clear I had a few warm rides this summer but this afternoon's ride home was HOT. I had put a wet t-shirt on before leaving from work but it felt like I was increasing my body temp with every breath of hot air I was taking. In addition, the high humidity slowed down evaporation on the wet tee. A strong SE wind gave me a tast of what a ride home from Brooklyn Park would have been like on Monday and I was glad again that I drove. Most remarkable were the few short stretches where I turned out of the wind, like Vandalia and Pierce Butler, when the temp seemed to double because I was lacking the wind chill. Even so, I kept my tempo up, not a fast ride by any means. but for the conditions, it was a good effort. I hung my head under the garden faucet three times and finished up with a cold shower.
