Went for a little ride this morning. Between the high temps over 105F and the crazy monsoon rains dumping a 1/10 of our annual rainfall in less than an hour each day, I haven't gotten much saddle time.
I went out for a ride before the heat and the storms got started today. Rode into the sunrise until I got to the Tanque Verde area of Tucson. Most of the roads had been under water the day before, yet surprisingly most of the debris and rocks had been scooped up already.
Saw plenty of wildlife, those tiny frogs that only come out when it rains were all over the road, and coyotes running across the road snapping them up as snacks. Even saw a covey of quail and a flock of bicyclists.
I also attempted some new camera angles. I tried strapping it to my leg but mostly caught a great view of my light switch. I apparently am too tall because I had seen that method used before but it shot under the RE bars. Also, I see people using their cams on their helmets, but when I do that there is no view of the bike at all and just appears like I'm flying five feet off the ground. I'll keep trying. I also did not use the HD mic this time either.
