Tuesday, 8/13/2024 - 42nd outdoor ride of 2024

                                      

2024 MILEAGE - 2633.6

When I saw that the forecast was for a tolerable temperature this afternoon (pleasant summer warmth, but not excessive heat), I decided to wait for my ride so that I could compose this morning. I set off at 1:15 in 81° sunshine (and it was still 81° when I finished, though I'm sure it arched higher than that during the ride).

A bonus again today -- for the second consecutive day, I got to see my good friend Doug Franklin on his daily walk. I came up behind him when I had almost exactly a mile to go before finishing, and, knowing it was him, I began to sing Hail to the Victors. Amazingly, without even turning around to look, he knew it was me, and called out, "Hi, Allen!"

This gave me a ride today of 13.9 miles in 1:45.
