Damp Weather

 The past couple of weeks have been unusually damp here in New England. We have had rain or thunderstorms on all but a couple evenings over the past two weeks. After a long delay for weather and yard work, I was finally able to return to the road. It was relatively warm and quite humid, but at least we had an evening with no rain and a chance to ride. 

There are a couple areas nearby that I like to ride in when it is warm and humid. These areas have roads and trails, but lots of tree cover. They usually are few degrees cooler than everywhere else because they are shaded throughout the day. The only downside is the number of deerflies and horseflies has been bad because of the weather. They bite and will chase you down the road a good distance.
