2023 Mileage: 3198.5
In the early nineteen-eighties, when I was studying for my Master of Music degree in choral conducting at the University of Michigan, my wife at the time (Deb) and I attended Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Ann Arbor, and during the 1981-82 year, I served as choir director there. The organist was Dolly Collins.
Fast forward to 2023. Dolly lives in Saline, and we are Facebook friends. (She is STILL organist at Trinity.) When she saw the pictures I posted early this week about riding to Saline, she suggested that I should stop in for a visit sometime. So we arranged that for today, and I left at 10:00 this morning and rode the six and a half miles down there, for a splendid visit. (I carried my laptop along in the bag that is hooked to the rack on the back of my trike, to enable us to converse.)
Sadly, though, I experienced issues with the MapMyRide app that kept me from getting an accurate time, and hence my speed in the video looks abysmal. When I first got to Dolly's, I forgot to pause it for the first 10-15 minutes. And then, after I did get it paused, somehow as we visited, it slipped out of pause mode, and when I went to turn it on as I was ready to leave, I saw that it was already running.
Anyway, this gave me a ride of 13.9 miles in 1:50.
