2024 MILEAGE - 2645.5
After taking yesterday off, I was glad to resume the routine of riding today. Today I left about 10:15 and rode the Platt/Ellsworth Rectangle -- a slightly shorter route than the 13.6-mile square that is my most common ride. It was quite warm, with a temperature of 75° when I began and 81° when I finished.
One special joy today was seeing friends of mine during the relatively early part of the ride (about 3 miles in). I met Ron Cundiff relatively early in my riding career—I did not make note of the date, but I suspect it must have been late in the summer of 2015, because I began riding that spring, and then about the time that we met or slightly later, he met Donna and married her early in 2016. We are all Facebook friends now.
We have shared a meal in the past, but I no longer see them much, as they split their time between winters in the south (where I think Donna is from) and summers in the north. So it was a bit of good fortune that I should run into them today.
This gave me a ride today of 11.8 miles in 1:38.
