41st outdoor ride of 2023 - Tuesday, 7/18/2023

 2023 Mileage: 2865.9

Today I had to change my plans on the fly. I set off thinking I was going to ride the 20-mile round trip to Baker Rd. (in splendid weather—sunny and 73 when I began at 10:30, up to 76° by the time I finished). However, as I rode, I was experiencing pain and discomfort in both my knees and my feet, so I changed my plans, shortening my route considerably—I rode north on Seventh St. and then northwest on Stadium, as I always do when I ride to Baker; then when I reached Jackson Rd., I turned around and came back south on Maple Rd. and in past the Ice Cube and the library, rather than continuing the additional 5 miles west to Baker Rd.

This view is looking south along Oak Valley, from the intersection of Scio Church and Oak Valley, near the Ann Arbor Ice Cube.


This gave me a ride of 8.4 miles in 1:24.
