Howard and I have been learning how to bike many miles at one time to train for long bike rides. Howard is participating in the MS Challenge today and tomorrow. He rode for 63 miles today. It wasn't as hot as the meteorologists were saying. It started out pretty cool, then warmed slowly through the day. I didn't ride today with him and I was a bit sad. It was a long, hilly ride, and I think I could have done well, but I don't know if I would have been able to do all 75 miles today. We'll see what the day brings tomorrow. If there are lightning strikes through the night, the ride will be called off.
