Today, is a big, big day—it's Grandfriends Day at Emerson School, where Michelle teaches music and where my granddaughter Izzy is a second grader. (The picture of us below is from after the Memorial Day parade this past May.)
There will be a program at the school this afternoon, as well as an opportunity to visit her classroom, so I wanted to make sure and leave plenty of time to get there by 1:00, as well as to practice piano first. So I rode early, beginning at 8:45 in brisk conditions—partly sunny skies, and 40°, with a nice 😎 cooling breeze of 20 mph from the southwest.
Again, I was happy to settle for a single round trip to Marsh Park, completing the 10.2 miles in 1:17. Since, like yesterday, my ride was quite slow, even though I have not been aware of any slacking off in my pedaling, I've formulated a hypothesis—I suspect that the colder weather has caused me to need to air up the tires. I've been doing it on a weekly basis, even though right now I'm just over a week, having last done it on Monday, Nov. 13. So that goes at the very top of my must do items before tomorrow's ride.
