It was warmer and more humid this morning, and by afternoon the temperature must have been approaching 90 F. Summer is back. We had a pretty typical Friday ride today. A smallish group taking long steady pulls at moderate pace. The ride out was mostly headwind and soon after we turned around we met Realdo and Charlie coming the other way. They both turned around to ride with us, but one of them stopped to deal with something on his bike. I waited for them and let the group ride off down the levee. Then must have been rolling with the tailwind because we never caught them, not that we were trying. I had a meeting this morning at UNO that I found out about Thursday afternoon. I assumed it would take an hour or so, but when I arrived I saw that I would be stuck there until 2:30. I hate when that happens. The rest of the day was pretty much of a waste and I headed home around 5:30, throwing the bike into the car for a ride home with The Wife. We took a walk down to Williams' Plum Street Snowballs where I got a nice cold pink lemonade snowball. I always get mine in the original cardboard "pail" - the kind that Chinese restaurants like to use for take-out. It's a tradition at this particular place that used to be called Williams' when I was a kid. Very little has changed here in the last 40 years. You still stand in line, holding the ancient screen door open while you wait your turn to order. First you tell them which size you want (large cup, small pail, etc.), then you sidestep to the left where you tell another person what flavor you want. Just be sure not to call these things sno-cones, OK? It is looking like the temps will do nothing but rise for the next week at least and there is no rain in the forecast at all. I guess I'll be doing the Giro ride tomorrow and then hopefully I can get a few people together for a few laps of the new Tour de La course on the Northshore on Sunday.
