Total mileage for 2017: 1091.9
This morning's ride was a trial in several respects. I checked the sunrise time, and it was 6:04 (earlier than I had expected), so I began my ride just before 6:00. It was cool, at 57°, but that made my hoodie feel just right. However, by the time I finished, at almost 11:30, it was up to 71*, and the hoodie was quite unnecessary.
Building up my stamina for the PALM (Pedal Across Lower Michigan) ride that I'm doing in late June, I had hoped to do five or even six round trips to Marsh Park today. But my early start evidently made my head a little foggy; when I was at the park for the fourth time, I paused MapMyRide, but then forgot to restart it when I began riding again. When I noticed this near the end of the fourth round trip, I headed back down the trail, but then before too long I decided I'd better cut it short, so I headed home, and with a combination of my partial route recorded on my phone, plus the Gmaps pedometer that I used to use last year, I was able to determine that I rode 38.8 miles (my longest ride so far of 2017) in 2:48.
