57th ride of 2017 - Tuesday, 5/9/2017

Total mileage for 2017: 840.6

Today was such a glorious day that I packed up the trike and took it to Hudson Mills Metropark in Dexter, where I rode a round trip on the West River Trail between there and the village, completing 13,7 miles in 1:31. When I left, about noon, it was 56° and sunny, and climbed to 59* by the time I finished. Also notable was the fact that today i exceeded 100 hours of elapsed riding time for the year.

Today's Obstacle du Jour, however, was the fact that, after I packed up and drove to Dexter this morning, and parked where I usually do, I got out of the car and discovered that I had forgotten to put on my special cycling shoes with cleats on the bottom that hook into the pedals. Sighing, I set off to return home and get them. This meant a wasted round trip of nearly 45 minutes, but everything went OK. It did reduce my original plans, though, to try and do two round trips, but I'll just save that for next time!
