9th outdoor ride of 2023 - Wednesday, May 10, 2023

 2023 Mileage: 2195.4

What a magnificent, gorgeous day for a ride today! I'm somewhat embarrassed to confess that yesterday's unseasonable warmth persuaded me to skip riding and spend my time on indoor projects.

Today, however, I made up my mind and dug out a pair of shirts and my lime green and orange Michigan Recumbent Trikes t-shirt. (Ironically, this is the exact same color combination that my brother and I chose to paint our bedroom, when our parents allowed us — perhaps unwisely — as teens to select the colors.) I rode a round trip to the center of Saline in beautiful sunshine that began at 67° when I began just past 11:00, and climbed to 73° during the ride.

I got a selfie at the midpoint in Saline, when I turned around to come home, and then a picture of some of the flowering trees along the drive into our complex when I got home.

This gave me a ride of 12.9 miles in 1:43.
