74th outside ride of 2023 - Friday, 9/8/2023

2023 Mileage: 3346.7


Today, on the eighth day of my Great Cycling Challenge (a fundraiser for kids' cancer),  I waited until midday, and then wore a hoodie for my first time since early last spring. It felt good, though, in 64° cloudy conditions, with occasional light rain drops being spit at me. I began at 11:30.

Yesterday I went and played piano for the worship service at Brecon Village, a retirement community in Saline, and afterwards was just exhausted, so I allowed myself to take the day off. But I felt uneasy about this, since the Great Cycling Challenge is a fundraiser for kids' cancer, and, after all, those kids don't ever get to take a day off from having cancer.

I rode the Platt/Packard Square, and then lengthened it just very slightly by adding a lap in our complex when I got home.

This gave me a ride of 13.8 miles in 1:45.
