Today's ride was both short and frustrating, in the extreme. I had intended to do 10 iterations of a loop near our home that I call the Arcadia loop.
In addition to this picture, taken in a subdivision, Arcadia Drive also intersects Ellsworth Rd. But one of today's frustrations was that the weather caused me to miss this turn.
I went out about 9:00 a.m. in a 43° temperature that was by no means uncomfortable. But the fog ended up being so heavy that it rendered my glasses virtually useless, and I ended up missing several turns. On one turn that I almost missed, a minor calamity occurred, as I got off the sidewalk, caught my tire in the soft wet grass, and tipped over. When my rear-view mirror, attached to the outside of my left handlebar, struck the ground, the mirror broke off. Accordingly, given all this, I cut the ride short and settled for a single loop, riding a mere 3.5 miles in 32 minutes.
