Hello Jerry. Wow, what a couple of rides you must have had. It must be pretty darn chilly down there in Texas this time of year. (35K is about -397 degrees Fahrenheit). I think I rode about 35km yesterday, and the temperature was about 283K (Kelvin). Maybe you meant you rode 35,000 miles or kilometers (using the informal abbreviation of capital K for thousands). I didn't have enough time to go that far. ;-)
