two 100 degree rides this weekend

I rode twice this weekend even know we have had temperatures over 100. Saturday Bridget and I rode her 10 mile ride on Saturday. This is a ride from the house that takes us around the neighborhood without ever going up or down any steep hills. You can see this ride from the following link. Bridget's 10 Mile Ride.

On Sunday morning I did my Andice ride. Andice is a town just north of Austin. It has two churches, about 5 houses and a small general store, which makes it a great place to get a cold drink before turning around and riding home. This time at the Andice General Store, I met a man that had grownup in Andice. I spent about twenty minutes hearing about all the changes Andice had gone through in the last 85 years since he was born. Except for paving the roads and getting school buses, I realized not much has changed in this farming community. At 85 years old he was heading out in the 100 degree weather to pump water for his cows. You can see this ride from the following link.
