Easy ride to and from Soulard Farmer's Market - great & local (Bootheel?) apples, peaches, & cantaloupe. Hot and strong southern wind - ugly day for riding. Cooler next week???????????????

To Edwardsville and home via McKinley Bridge, Wilson Park, Nickel Plate, and Schoolhouse. Pushed hard for 45 miles to Horseshoe Lake SP; long break and easy ride in. Light SE then NE wind helped a bit. Very hot - hard to stay hydrated. Okay lunch at Mexican rest. in Edwardsville.

80/120 rpm. Higher rate felt fine.

11 double sets. Right shoulder definitely improving.

Pleasant group hike at Castlewood's GP trail with Sierra Club. '2' due to heat and hills. Crossed paths with a few trail runners and MTB's.

Leisurely MCT ride (Nature then Nickle Plate) from Wilson Park with Fran and Anne Marie. Very hot - almost 100.

C • still going strong, eh. how... 4

Hard pace to Y via TGP and the Hill.

Included 50; 100; 150; 200; 150; 100; 50 pyramid at faster pace - felt good!
