3100 kms in 3 days

[dagibbs]

I've arrived in Dallas, and am chez Thomas & Stacey, where they have internet. Yay internet! The first day and a half were slabbing it, distance but boring riding. Then part way through day two, I looked at the country I was slabbing through, and said, this looks like fun country to ride, and picked the next sensible turn off. Wow, it was fun. :) So, 2nd half of day two, and first half of day three were a lot of fun, fun, riding -- then finally the 2nd half of day two was slogging it. But, slogging it in hot (I saw one of those little time/temperature signs reporting 97 degrees, that's 36 Canadian) instead of comfortable temperatures. More detailed report later...

"...36 Canadian"?

are you serious because I am real sucker for these kinds of "facts"

By "36 Canadian", I was (tongue-in-cheek) translating from Fahrenheit (which is what the USA still uses) to Celsius (which is what we use in Canada, so referred to it as "Canadian").

Celsius -> Fahrenheit mental conversion: double, subtract 10%, add 32.
And, the reverse: 97 (fahrenheit)-32 = 65, add about 10% = 72, halve it = 36 celsius.

Either way, it's hot.

Yes, you WERE tongue-in-cheek, and I thought it was fantastic.
