2023 Mileage: 1396.9

Yesterday, a busy day meant that I couldn't ride. So I was eager to get back on it today.

All my life, I've been a big science fiction fan. As a boy, I belonged to the Science Fiction Book Club, in which I'd receive a new book through the mail every few weeks. I was interested to learn (just now) that the Club began in 1953 ... and it still continues today!

Sometime around 1966, I remember reading a book that piqued my interest tremendously—Fantastic Voyage, in which a team of largely doctors is miniaturized aboard as powerful submarine, and injected into the body of a leading scientist in order to travel to his brain and destroy a life-threatening blood clot, using a laser. However, I don't believe I ever saw the 1966 movie. During today's ride, I rectified that omission.

This gave me a ride of 25.6 virtual miles in 1:40.
