The rain was ostensibly supposed to stop sometime around midnight, allowing the pavement to slowly dry over the course of the next few hours. Instead, it turned out to be a nonstop late night of mother nature emptying her tear ducts over Tokyo.

Friday is finally upon us, and today is a nice break from work thanks to the Juneteenth holiday remembrance. The actual holiday is tomorrow, but today is the celebratory day off from work.

According to my Oura ring I did not get a decent nights rest. Apparently I had not enough total time asleep, limited REM sleep, and just overall shit rest. Thankfully the lack of sleep had no negative affect on my ride this morning.

Very nice mild temperature this morning with a slight breeze just enough to make the ride supremely comfortable. Interestingly I felt relatively decent today even though I kinda got shit for sleep. Almost opted outta the full 50k but since I was feeling motivated I rode the entire distance.

Wednesday is hellaciously hot and humid, a first for 2021. There was almost no breeze for the first half of the ride, but a slight one on the return, providing some minimal comfort from the sharp rays raining down from the sun.

I could not be happier with the climate today. There was outstanding post-rain Saturday morning weather, perfect for a nice comfy ride, especially when I was feeling really motivated to ride ride and ride.
