This morning we took a sultry, soupy ride up and down the hills of Noank and then on through some of the quiet streets of Groton Long Point. It was another misty morning, but the heat helped the mist disperse and very warm sunshine was spread around by the time we finished, around 10:30.

Later, we watched the 17th stage of the Tour de France - a scary mountainous stage in the French Alps.  We love the scenery as much as the racing, and it's nice that we can tape the race in the morning and then watch it at our leisure in the afternoon and evening.
