I was surprised how many riders there were for this morning's long levee ride. It must have been the Sunlight Effect that brought them out. The winds have shifted and it's warm and humid again around here, and I guess that contributed a bit to today's fast pace on the way out to Ormond. Howard was, as usual, surging when he'd come to the front, constantly looking behind him to survey the damage. Most of us weren't really having any of it today, though, and so various little groups occasionally loitered off the front, only to be reeled back in to the pack once the excitement wore off.
So it is still 90 degrees in the office, and I'm about to bail. There's a replacement pump on order for the a/c, but nobody is making any promises as to when it will arrive. Since I've got a late afternoon meeting on the uptown campus, I think I'll just hop on the bike and head to the house where it's at least a little bit cooler. It should be a good night for the trick-or-treaters, and I think it will end up as a little neighborhood party like last year.
