6th outdoor ride of 2023 - Thursday, 5/4/2023

2023 Mileage: 2158.8

The issues I'm having with my lower spine—pain and weakness—still concern me. I have held off from riding outside because of concern that something would happen to me when I am miles away from home, and I wouldn't be able to deal with it.

However, today's weather was simply too glorious for me to stay inside. When I began my ride at 10:30, the temperature was 54° (which rose to 59° during the ride), and the mostly sunny sky contained only a few small, scattered, puffy clouds. On this Star Wars Day ("May the Fourth be with you"), for my first outdoor ride since April 13, I kept it short, and did a round trip to Marsh Park.

I was happy to see my good friend Doug Franklin again, as I have numerous times in the past, on his daily walk up from his home in Saline. My ride gave me 9.9 miles in 1:21.
