Able to salvage enough energy for a weekend-ending quick ride about town & track, to cut down travel time spent going to & from Ricky Gap or wherever. Grueling week w/ much death & destruction. Had to locate my gear, etc. from wherever the pieces landed when we got back late from OBX. Last ride was 7/4, so only got to ride during 2 days of the Tour. Grew a 3+ week old beard & cut it all back off in that ride interval. So finally left the clinic in the heat of the day. Track was deserted initially, until the hook-and-ladder fire truck backed in, and a fireman finally got out & started getting his walking in. I didn't think I was nearly so blazing to require hosing off, but it might have felt good. I didn't see smoke in the bleachers, or see where the soccer field needed watering to prepare for Fall PSrHS sports teams. Guess he was just trying to get some exercise in. He wore headphones so was not subjected to my loud 70's progressive band "hot tracks"...
