Overnight Global Warming

Today's Twomile Tracking via Ham Radio, GPS, APRS

Since it's Monday and the first day of a new week, no reason not to go on at least a short trike ride to start out properly, right?  RIGHT?
Since we had lots on our plates today, and felt we couldn't afford a longer more leisurely ride, we did our usual To-the-Post-Office-and-Back stressful ride.  Stressful going west TOWARD the Post Office and much more fun screaming down the largely downhill eastbound return trip AWAY from the P.O.
What wonderful warmth all of a sudden!  We were sleeping under 2 quilts and building fires every morning in the wood stove to take the chill off the house, and often in the evenings, until 2 days ago when SUDDENLY the weather changed and we are sorely tempted to get up on the roof and limber up the swamp cooler again.  Now we must run our bedroom ceiling fan all night and the A/C in the cars during the daytime.  Occasionally the breeze while riding the trike is still a bit brisk but we now get overheated rather quickly on the people-pedal-powered machine.
When we got to the Triangle Bicycle Break Station, known to most as the Triangle Shell Gasoline Station, we did our usual soda and rest break.  As usual the doggies, who are no help whatsoever while pedaling the trike, won all the praise and glory and attention while they begged and rummaged for crumbs under the outside break table.
Just as we were saddling up to leave, a spandex-clad Serious Cyclist rode up from the highway of North-14 and - admiring our dogs and trike in that order - obviously wanted to talk and visit a while.  We asked him where he was from and where he was going and he casually answered "Santa Fe, going to Corrales".  Santa Fe is 40+ miles to the north on the Turquoise Trail Byway of North-14 and Corrales is at least that far westerly from here.  He didn't even appear to be breaking a sweat.  There Ought to Be a Law.
Turns out his wife was in her car next to us and had business earlier in the morning in Santa Fe and carried him and his bike there where he took off toward us while his wife went on to her meeting, catching up to him in the car right there at the Shell Station.  Enjoyed a great visit with them.  He's of course a Serious Cycle Jockey and they own a tandem 2-wheeler they put lots of miles on.  He rode coast to coast a couple of years ago, with his wife driving the sag wagon RV behind.  Nice Folks.  Great Stuff.  Jealousy.
