Earlier starts

The hot weather has arrived and when the temperature climb to over 90°F (32.2°C) by mid-morning it's too hot for me to be out riding my bicycle. The headline photo is the sunset from last night, so don't be thinking I am a pre-dawn rider. Starting at 07:00 and arriving back home around 09:00 works well enough for me. It seems that even people who grew up in this climate are avoiding the afternoons when it has been as high as 105°F (40.6°C). Generally, it has been cooler than normal so far this year. The record high for this location is 115°F (46.1°C), so I am hoping that the present weather trend continues.
