Heat Wave Ride

We are in the midst of a heat wave. At least, it's been hot for Spokane. We always have a stretch of hot weather every summer just like we get a stretch of freezing temperatures in the winter.

We were able to take advantage of our neighbors pool last night. That made the heat a lot more manageable. However, I ended up drinking too much beer. I definitely felt it at 4 this morning.

The reason I'm writing today is to describe the wonderful bike ride downtown I had this morning. It has been chilly on the morning ride every day up to today. It's been so hot that there was a wonderful warm breeze that blew across me all the way downtown.

I paused on the bridge and gazed at the river for a couple of moments. 

The hill climb was still arduous and my breathing was labored. Even so, it was a very nice ride
