It was a beautiful and hot ride this morning. The temp was already 84 at 7 am, which made the ride a little laborious, but I still made it in 57 minutes. It is getting easier every time.
The Lake was as smooth as it ever gets, hardly a ripple the whole distance. I saw one cirrus cloud far off to the east and that was it - otherwise just a beautiful blue sky with a very bright sun. There was a haze along the horizon, such that I could not see the Indiana steel plants this morning - just viewed those south of Chicago.
It is a peaceful time for me - good exercise - clear mind - a beautiful vista and many folks just moving along. The morning ride is healing.
The afternoon ride is about speed. I usually have a little tail wind and my body feels more like going - I mean really going. There are many more folks on the path and one has to be very alert. It is a totally different experience. Usually great numbers of sailboats out, sparring with the wind. Tourists trying to find their ways.
I hope that you have a wonderful day!
Take care.
