2023 Mileage: 2238.1
Beautiful day for a ride today—brilliant sunshine, and cooled off just a touch, so that when I rode at 9:45 it wqs 50 degrees, and that climbed to 54° during the ride. I rode the Packard/Platt Square, stopping for a selfie at Lillie Park, as I always do.
About a mile after being at Lillie Park, I met with another of my periodic adventures. Along the Platt Greenway, there was a sign blocking the way, saying "Sidewalk closed." I couldn't see anything wrong with it, and could see no workers, so I merely went around the sign ... and soon dropped into loose dirt, as the paved trail had been ripped up. So, though I hated to do this (as it breaks my commitment to Michelle to avoid riding on the road, in accordance with her wishes), I rode for about half a mile on the road, till I got back to where I could rejoin the trail. I really had no choice.
This gave me a ride of 13.6 miles in 1:47.
