2024 MILEAGE - 2249.1
This morning I enjoyed yet another resplendent spring day for my ride. Setting off a couple of minutes before 7:00, in bright unbroken sunshine that lasted throughout the ride, conditions were calm and the temperature a brisk 53°. This cool air actually felt quite good, though, and I welcomed it. I rode a round trip to the far west side of Saline, where the sidewalk runs out (about a mile beyond Wellers).
It was good to do a strong ride today, on the heels of an unexpected day off yesterday. I had planned to ride first thing in the morning—always a good plan, as it prevents the intrusion of unexpected events—but several things arose that I needed to deal with, so I spent the morning doing that. Then after lunching with a dear, longtime friend in Saline, I went and got my hair cut and beard trimmed ... both needed, but especially the beard. And then, as the day was heating up, I decided to ride inside on our stationary cycle; but when I do that, I generally watch a video in order to maintain my sanity. That option, however, was unavailable to me, as Xfinity was doing work that had interrupted out internet service. That's not to say that I COULDN'T have ridden without watching a film ... but I've grown so dependent on that, I chose not to, and instead dug into a new composition project that was calling to me.
This gave me, today, a ride of 15.7 miles in 2:08.
