mild heat stroke.

so i've left. just with my luck we're in the middle of a heatwave... my second day i literally only made it 10 miles before i almost died of heatstroke [my estimation, as a non-professional]... my destination was a library, a good place to enjoy air conditioning, wifi, outlets, and spigots. they were closed. i still hung out for the rest of the day using all of their amenities except i had to lay on the concrete to cool off, as pictured over there. also, there was an apple tree. bingo.

today was a very long 30 miles. i got a very early start trying to reach my destination before the worst of the heat set in. i was on the road at about 6am and i had a blast. temps in the 60's and no cars on the road. i found some fantastic roads, some dirt, some well-traveled... some went straight up. i didn't care for those at all. i had to get off and push the bike up some hills a few times... undignified, but i had a few excuses.

i think the hardest part is right at the beginning. i'm starting to get the hang of this.
