Cool Springs Short Route

Today's ride was a good one—a good, short mix of hard efforts and endurance. I started out with the group and then finished with Jeremy. It was nice to have company for that part, and even nicer to have company for the first part: Parri, Lisa C, Lee, Shelly, and I were all representing Team Belladium!

And wow, it's been over a month since I've done this ride!

This was one of the hottest rides yet. I stopped about 2 miles from home to refill my water bottles and drank four 20-oz bottles while on the road. That's a lot of water in a short amount of time, but I guess that's what 100* + super high humidity call for!
