I am planning on a Social Ride tonight (and so, apparently, is
the weather, though it WILL be hot).  6:30 at TAMUs Research Park
on Technology Loop.

It's getting darker earlier -- do you have a headlight and a taillight?

This is not about drinking too much alcohol!

I've had several people send things to me because a Washington DC
police officer died during a bicycle training program
from drinking too much water.

And, of course, even more yet can be found via Google searching.
