When Will the Humidity Break?

It's miserably hot and muggy....I'm miserable. With no air conditioning in our home, it's days like this that I just hate. I end up feeling cold at work because of the AC, and then when I come home it hits me like a ton of bricks, that hot, sticky air. Have I done any riding this week? Heck no and I feel miserable about that too.

I was glad to learn that Bike man headed out on his road bike today and did 34 miles. Good for you BM. This is going to be a long work week.

On a brighter note, we are planning our next bicycle trip. Hopefully we will take off August 29th and ride towards the Mississippi River. Our goal is to reach Dubuque, IA in search of ice cream! We will turn east and head back into Wisconsin and heads towards my parent's home in Southwest WI for a little break and then continue north to home. We are looking at somewhere in the 400 mile range. As we get closer to that time, I will blog our bicycle trip itinerary.

  1. The richest most sinful ice cream in Dubuque is Betty Jane's on Asbury road. A local candy maker who puts his chocolate goodies in his home made ice cream. I have to go to confession after every cone.

  3. I know... its been hanging on... and no rain in sight. The hockey rink literally drips everywhere and is foggy in a weird way.

    I am intrigued with your bike trip and look forward to hearing more about it-wow 400 miles.
