64th outdoor ride of 2023 - Sunday, 8/27/2023

2023 Mileage: 3212.1


My younger sister, Marianne, has been visiting us for the last couple of days. It was WONDERFUL to see her, but she had an early flight out of Detroit this morning, and since I am always up early anyway, I made a point of it today so that I could back up her alarm clock. She had to leave our home at 5:30, so I slipped out of bed at 4:30 to ensure that I'd be able to check on her at 5:00, per her request.

Following Marianne's departure, I had a nice session of composition, working on a new choral piece I just began yesterday. Then I began my ride at 7:00.

I rode in magnificent early sunshine. But it was easy to tell that fall will soon be here, as the temperature was 52° when I started, and 60° when I finished. I'll take that any day over the excessive summer heat!

In these pleasant conditions, I rode the Platt/Packard Square, as Textile Road, which had been closed last work for work at the railroad crossing between Lohr and State, is now open once again.


This gave me a ride of 13.6 miles in 1:41.
