2023 Mileage: 3090.2

I wanted to do a longer ride this morning—the 20-mile round trip to Baker Rd. (Dexter). But when I was ready to begin at 8:30, it didn't seem possible to squeeze it in, as they were forecasting thunderstorms to begin mid morning.

So I chose to ride on our stationary cycle instead. Then, though (wouldn't you know it), the sunshine remained throughout the morning. At any rate, I rode while watching the beloved movie The Sound of Music.

i had bought this on YouTube a few years ago, but then learned earlier this year that it was no longer available there, as the rights had been sold. I did not waste my money on it, though. As I recall, the purchase was roughly $10, and since the beginning of 2010 (when Michelle got us the stationary cycle), my records show that I watched it almost twenty times (last having done so on February 23 of this year).

I researched last night to find out how I could stream the movie now, and learned that I could do so with the streaming app Vudu. That worked well for me.

This gave me a ride of 32.2 virtual miles in 2:55.
