The following question was presented:

The temperature this week has been just over a million degrees. I was outside for about an hour today with William doing some work on my mini solar project and came in drenched. I also went out on my bike this past Wednesday and nearly didn't make it back because I seemed to be zapped of all energy. Will it cool down enough this week for me to get back out on my bike?

Analysis:

Yes, it did indeed cool down enough for me to go on a bike ride. Given that this is the last full week William is here, I decided to take advantage and tackle the steep hill on my new bike. It went really well, but my elbow was sore for a couple of days afterwards. I've figured out that it's not the strain of moving the bike that's doing it. When I go up the steep part of the hill and just crank away, I'm grabbing the brake with my right hand when my arm is at full stretch. It seems that this action is what's causing the discomfort. So, basically, I'm fine on my bike so long as I don't use the brake. Great given the number of hills there are around here. If you're interested, here's the video proof of the bike ride.
