2023 Mileage: 2340.9
I got out early this morning, leaving a few minutes before 6 a.m., and rode to Saline, going as far as I can west (along U.S. 12) before the sidewalk runs out and I have to turn around and come back, about a mile past Wellers.
The last few miles were super slow. I felt as if I were riding through mud. As far as I'm aware, though, there were no problems with the trike; I'm just old and tired.
With a couple miles left to go, I passed my good friend Doug Franklin, on his daily walk. As he went by me, he said just what I was thinking—had to get out here before it heated up too much. The heat yesterday and my failure to get out early was a major contributing factor in my decision to avoid riding. Today, it was a comfortable 63° when I left, but already up to 75° by the time I finished.
This gave me a ride of 16.0 miles in 2:20.
