 I was able to get out on my bike to enjoy the spectacular weather we are experiencing. The really nice weather arrived after almost a month of stormy, hot, humid weather which effectively put a damper on all outdoors activities.

I managed a 21-mile ride yesterday in the relatively cooler morning air with a fairly stiff wind from the north. The sky was clear and it was fun to be out on the streets. Since it was a federal holiday, I expected light traffic. That was not the case. It seemed everyone was out and about. 

I biked different places than I had biked on Saturday. I was shocked that some streets were still water covered, although I know these streets are subject to flooding at high tide and the king tides make them worse. I did manage to get coated with mud. I need to wash my bike and oil my chain after a couple days of wet riding. 

Today, due to the favorable weather, is a boating day. Yay. Chris, Finnegan, and I are looking forward to heading out on the water and the plan is to head to Stuart to do some shopping and lunch before heading back to the marina. Depending on the weather, we might have some beach time.
