This morning when I rode at 8:30, it was coo at 49°l—but nowhere close to intolerable—for my wardrobe of shorts and t-shirt. When I finished, a bit before 11:00,, it was a toasty 59°.
I had wanted to do three round trips to Marsh Park again today, and would have had no problem with it physically. But as I rode on into the second, I became convinced that I ought to apportion my time otherwise. I am meeting a lady at church at 1:30 to work on piano duets, and wanted to be able to have a good solo piano practice session before that.
There are two types of piano duets—ones employing two pianos, and so-called 4-hand duets, with both players seated at the same instrument, side by side. I have never researched this, but although neither type is exactly common, it is my feeling that r-hand duets are somewhat more frequent than ones for two pianos. Anyway, 4-hand duets is what we're going to be working on today, hoping to be able to work something up to play it in church sometime. Needless to say, it takes great skill on the part of the composer to make a musical contribution while weaving the two players together, and keeping them from colliding.
Anyway, today I scaled back and settled for two round trips—18.7 miles in 2:11.
