What a terrific ride home. It was really hot but I made sure I had a lot of ice water with me and I made sure that I was drinking enough that I went through a bottle every half hour. I figured that way I would have to stop at the Super Pumper by my house and refill. Resting and staying hydrated and holding my threshold ride to below LT I figured would work out and leave me fresh for tomorrow.
I was right, except....
As I exited the Super Pumper with my fresh ice water the wind kicked up and I got caught in a wicked dust storm. It was blowing cars around pretty good so I was careful, and slow. The wind was right in my face and there had to be 40 mph gusts.
The sand finally stopped blowing and then it started to rain. It was OK, I made it home safe and happy. Just about to leave to go up north.
