2023 Mileage: 4015.7
Today I intended to ride my square route of about 13.6 miles, which is easily my most frequent ride. However, I hadn't taken into account the conditions. Once I began, I found I was battling a brisk, healthy, challenging wind of about 15 mph. That whipping wind combined with the 40° temperature to create a wind-chill for which I was not mentally prepared. Accordingly, I changed my plans, and decided I would just ride a round trip to Marsh Park (about 10 miles).
Then, however, as I pedaled on, I found a continuing challenge which even the joy of seeing my friend Doug Franklin on his daily walk couldn't overcome, so I truncated my plans still farther, and settled for just riding the Silo Ridge loop.
This gave me a (baby) ride of 6.4 miles in 56 minutes
