heatwave

Mt Wachusett on a hot day. Left Bolton around 8am. Made it to the top around 9:40am. And we decided that was not enough climb for the day, so we made the summit loop 3x 🤣 which increased about 900 feet elevation gain for the ride.

Got a flat with 0.3 miles to go at Bolton. I continued riding the flat and changed the tube when I got home. And I tried using CO2 cartridge for the first time! Gotta practice!

Stopped at Nan’s kitchen in Stow for lunch. Got a delicious Salmon bowl!

Didn't sleep much - its the heat. Can't really get going today - its the heat. Can't stay in - its the heat. Can't go out - its the heat. Remind me again why its important our governments urgently do nothing sustainable to remedy the climate disruption they've already caused through greed, corruption and ecocide. I'll wait, not going anywhere. 🤬

A wax sculpture of Abraham Lincoln in Northwest DC has melted due to the heat....🥵

Quote from the artist Sandy Williams to the Intelligencer:

"I previously had joked that when our climate gets bad enough to where we are living in an environment where the ambient heat melts these sculptures, that’s when this work becomes an environmental artwork. I didn’t know that was going to be this summer."

“We were all struggling, and they were pushing us so hard to not stop.”
