Tuesday, 2/20/2024 - 3rd outdoor ride of 2024

2024 MILEAGE - 1005.7

Today, my schedule seemed as if it would work best for me to ride outside after I got Michelle home from school; so, grateful for the extended daylight we are now enjoying which made a 5:00 ride feasible, I set out to ride the 10-mile round trip to Marsh Park.

However, the combination of rapidly failing daylight, the cool temperature (42°—so, even though today was unseasonably mild for a Michigan February, it was clear that winter is not wholly over YET), and my weak, noodle-like legs, made me decide to shorten even that modest plan, and just ride the little baby ride that is the shortest one I ever allow myself to do (the "Silo Ridge Loop").

Happily, though, I saw my friend Doug Franklin during the ride (as I frequently do, during his long daily walks up from his home).

This gave me a ride of 6.2 miles in 55 minutes.
