Dog Days of August

Yes, the Dog Days of August are amongst us for the Senior Cyclist, I'm ready for some cooler weather. Being stuck in the Dog Days here along the coast of SC, I wonder if Cesar Millan (The Dog Whisperer) would enjoy riding here in the Lowcountry this time of year.

I shouldn't complain too much I guess because there are trade offs no matter where you live, but man, sometimes it's just hotter than a cow's butt at fly time around here in August. I just keep telling myself just get through these hot days and the rest is easy peddling. Super fall and spring days, and even the winter, now that's good riding weather. One good thing about riding in the months of summer, is that it gives riders here in Charleston a good base for steady riding in the heat and humidity. And when the Northern tourists come to the Beaches of South Carolina for vacations, we look like heroes to them. And that's pretty cool, because when they see us go by we can bark like the big dogs on the road!
