2024 MILEAGE - 2131.4
My ride today was in about as nice conditions as could be imagined—unbroken blue skies, just the merest hint of a gentle breeze, and temperatures in the mid-sixties. (63° when I began, at 10:15, and up to 69° when I finished).
Interestingly, when I made my traditional midpoint stop at Lillie Park for a selfie to text out to family and friends, a friendly fellow cyclist came over to me to exchange greetings. I pulled from my wallet my explanatory card to let him know why I couldn't speak, whereupon HE pulled out a card to give me, identifying himself as Vern White, Bike Rehabilitation Specialist (Milan Bike Guy in Milan, MI on Facebook) and told me that if I ever have problems with my cycle, I should get in touch with him. He's 12 miles from us, so it's not likely I'd go there frequently, but it's nice to know of this option.
The only downside to my ride was the fact that my battery died with almost 3 miles left in the ride. I had my auxiliary battery pugged in, but the port where it plugs in has been having issues in recent days, so my video is not quite complete. But it's nearly so.
This gave me a ride of 13.6 miles in 1:50.
