Today was definitely not an unpleasant riding day for late fall. The brilliantly bright sunshine made up for the healthy wind (17 mph from the southwest), and the 45° temperature was cool, but tolerable. It even allowed me to wear my cloth 'fall' gloves (shown below), as opposed to my bulkier, warmer, but less enjoyable, quilted winter gloves.
I have mentioned before that I frequently ride through the Silo Ridge subdivision in the northeast corner of the Lohr/Textile intersection. Yesterday I noticed while consulting the map that Evergreen Ct. connects Silo Ride and Waterways, which also comes out to the bike path. So today I rode Waterways, Evergreen, and Silo Ridge, thinking it would add slightly to my distance. But instead, it was actually slightly shorter. I rode a single round trip to Marsh Park, 9.9 miles in an inexplicably slow time of 1:17.
