Black Flies and Humidity

It's that time of year again. I head out to 9 Mile for a ride last night and now that it's hot and humid the motivational black flies have returned. You can see them swarming behind you as you ride and they remind you not to stop. It was humid too and may have been warmer than it was at the Subaru Cup. We didn't push too hard and tried to take it a little easy but I did manage to push hard enough that I clipped a tree but luckily my pinky was between the tree and my bike and protected my handlebars. It is sore today. Dan was having computer issues with both of his bike computers so he may say we rode about 22 miles but I say it was 11.
