Today I was on car crew. Between pit spots, we spent our morning exploring the small towns off US highway 50. One town had a historic main street full of beautifully crafted antique houses. Another was full of amateur radio antennas. Many buildings were clearly abandoned and slowly being reclaimed by growth.
Downtown Peabody, KS.
By 10:30 in the morning, the weather had reached a humid 92 degrees. Shortly afterwards our biking crew called it a day. Despite everyone wanting to continue biking, it simply wasn’t safe to do so in the heat. To account for this new weather paradigm, we’ve resolved as a group to try and start biking at sunrise – the coolest moment of the day.
We spent the remainder of our day seeking shelter from the heat and catching up on non-biking activities.
