We've been getting the long miles in on Sundays - luckilly the weather has been kind and its been generally dry, sunny and calm. Because its rolling hills where we live we've been going over to the USAF base where it's flat as a pancake and just getting down on the aero's on those long straight fenland roads - very like Arizona but no desert and a lot cooler!
To try to mimic the Arizona heat we've been riding in extra clothes - including winter cycling jackets over our jerseys.
The land out there is reclaimed from under the sea - so the roads are just above sea-level (not exactly Boulder!) and one afternoon as the sun got low I was cruising along and noticed my shadow riding next to me but a few feet below me in the field. It was great to just cruise and check my cadence & position by looking across at my shadow in the adjacent field ... if it had gone past me I would have been really worried!
