I went on a reasonably hard, 81 km ride with 1000 meters of climbing this
morning. Even though I left home at 8 a.m. to make sure that I was home before
the afternoon heat set in, my Garmin still recorded an average temperature of
31C/88F and a maximum of 37C/99F during the ride. The maximum was likely
reached close to where I took these two pictures. And I had not taken enough
snacks, and this being Sunday, the shops where I would normally buy a couple of
bananas (the cyclist’s staple) in the mountain villages were all closed, so I
had to settle for a fruit bar I brought. But cycling through landscapes like
these makes it all worthwhile, besides the fitness benefits.
