I've recently moved to Spokane, and the summer heat is blistering compared to Seattle (freezing compared to Phoenix). In response to this I've set out on bike rides earlier in the day to avoid the heat. I went on a nice 14 miler, 1250ft elevation gain from the south hill, across Latah valley and back up Cedar st. It's a lot of climbing for large frame (fat body). White rd is steep.
Also, the government sent me a $200 check for a non-cashed tax return check from 2009. I had no idea about this. Luckily I'm not an accountant or I would obviously be out of work. So that money is going into the bike fund.
