Saturday, 6/22/2024 - 30th outdoor ride of 2024

              

2024 MILEAGE - 2328.4

The last couple of days I hadn't ridden. In addition to our stretch of high heat continuing, on Thursday night Michelle returned from her big school trip to Europe, and I had to pick her up at Metro airport late, and napped in preparation for that. Yesterday I was deeply embedded in a composition project.

Today, then, I got back to it, by leaving at just past 7:30 and riding the Packard/Platt Square ... 73° when I began, and up to 84° already when I finished. However, my time and speed were inaccurate, due to an error that I discovered when I stopped for my typical break at Lillie Park. I usually pause for roughly five minutes, and today when I was done, I went to restart the MapMyRide app .... but saw that it was already going, and so had been ticking off time all the while I was stopped there, going nowhere.

On the closing stretch I saw Doug Franklin again, on his daily walk, and reflected on the fact that we clearly had the same idea .... to get out there early and beat the worst of the day's heat.

The app measured me with a ride of 13.7 miles in 1:58.
