2023 Mileage: 1987.0

I had hoped to be riding outside regularly by now. However, two factors are conspiring against me.

First, for the last several weeks I have been experiencing considerable pain and weakness in my lower spine. With it being difficult even to walk, I am concerned about trying to ride outside, and maybe facing mechanical difficulties that prove beyond my ability to solve. At least if I ride inside, on our stationary cycle, I can hobble over there, lower myself onto it carefully, and pedal away in relative safety.

The second factor is the crazy weather we are experiencing. it currently feels more like November than late April. Right now, at 3:30, it's 39° and we are under a freeze warning, as well as the light rain we've been experiencing most of the day.

During my ride today I watched the first half of a classic comedy—Blues Brothers, from 1980.

This gave me 18.3 virtual miles in 1:15.
