Yep, that's 6:30 in the late afternoon. Lovely.
It's not the ride to our destination - it's the ride back home that's killer. By mid afternoon the heat is bad enough that if you catch a few traffic lights, you just sit and bake over that hot asphalt, willing the light to change so you can get moving.
So, here are some snaps from 2 weeks ago when we rode down 98 a ways. It's always nice to see the water.
We ate at the Blue Parrot and stared at the Gulf water.
I saw some birds approaching as we rode towards home.
And here they are a bit closer. Sometimes it's hard getting decent shots from the back of a motorcycle.
This is headed home. More of the same, I guess, but it's much prettier in person. Hoping next weekend we can go somewhere.
This is the time of year we think about moving north, maybe to Tennessee. We also talk about having a pool put in but right now that is cost prohibitive. We'll see. anyway, hoping to ride and share an outing next week.
Stay cool, stay hydrated!
The heat has been unbearable. I can imagine the cool breeze when you are zipping along on the bike but, oh yes, sitting at the lights with the steam coming off the asphalt-not comfortable.
ReplyDeleteTake care.

Poof ... oh wait, no I'm in the UK so it's grey and damp.
ReplyDeleteWait don't forget windy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Velva. We are looking at this upcoming weekend and it still looks hot. If we stay out of the city traffic it may not be bad.
ReplyDeleteJo, I think at this very moment, we would rather be with you. I guess no one is ever completed satisfied with their weather. Unless we all meet in Dpain. That would be incredible..
Thank you, Vicki! I am looking forward to wearing my jackets again. C'mon Fall weather!
ReplyDeleteJo, I meant SPAIN.
