What about the weather?? It’s been insanely hot when it’s not been bucketing down making the riding a challenge. Nonetheless, the hardier folks have lined up to take on recent brevets. I’m looking forward to a cool change when I hope we might see even more people line up for rides, including myself.
Don’t forget to send me your ride reports and any other newsworthy items. Please send them here: audaxqld@gmail.com
