Total mileage for 2017: 1546.8
Today's ride was unique ... it was my first ride after my failed attempt at PALM, and as I rode, I could not help but think about being there. This was particularly the case because, just before going out, I read the Facebook status of my friend Doug, who said he had just finished Day 2 of PALM and the route was especially hilly -- "Lots of good long hills. I think this was the hilliest day on any of the PALMS or maybe I am getting older." So, given the hills, perhaps it was not the worst thing that I missed it, after all. 🙂
I had a disappointingly late start today, due to schedule complications, and couldn't start until 4:30, when it was 71°. Nevertheless, with the lengthy daylight at this time of year, I hoped to do a fairly long ride. But as I was on the home stretch of my first round trip to Marsh Park, the sky had turned threateningly dark, and rain was beginning to fall, so I cut it short at a single round trip, finishing the 9.9 miles in 1:01 (quite a good time for me ... perhaps I was hurrying to get in out of the rain). The weather changes had cooled it off to 69° at the finish.
