I go through fluid like crazy and always have even when it isn't hot. If I am looking correctly 4 gallons is somewhere around 30 lbs depending on what each thing I took in weighed. When I got home I had only gained 2lbs over the course of the day so it was pretty close. I'm glad my seat doesn't absorb water of course my chamois did. So got some clothes without one and hopefully that works out.
Corn corn, probably ethanol corn at that, I never liked you corn. Ever since I tried growing some in my garden as a kid it just never was a good relationship. Now strawberries. Where are those nice fields of some nice strawberries. YUM!
Verizon didn't exactly help my recovery. A little stressed and up till nearly midnight waiting for find out if I had to mobilize after that long ride. Waiting over an hour on hold to cancel my travel arrangements. I finally got to sleep after 1am.
I took these pictures every few hours.. it just kept going
and going
and going!!! I mean we were out there so long and it was so hot the grass turned brown between 1pm and 5pm
Until finally there was hope that no more corn was going to be seen!
