Ooof. Damn, at least it cools down to 28°C or so at night here. It’s been absolutely miserable, tbh. And our monsoon rains have basically been a no-show. I keep wondering when in the hell I moved to Phoenix, AZ and didn’t notice?

Wait, just noticed yours is a full squish. Nevermind!!

I have a similar Trek, a Powerfly 5. Damn, I love it.
