Today's ride was good, but nippy, as I rode a round trip to Baker Rd. (Dexter) in 33° conditions, covering the 20.2 miles in 2:46 (for a terribly slow pace).
I wore my heavier winter gloves, and although they are unwieldy compared to my cloth ones, I was very glad for them!
Michelle and I traded texts midway through the ride. I heard hers come in, but waited until I turned around at Baker Rd. to answer her. She asked how I was doing, and I told her, "Chilly but fine" ... in reality, my toes felt nearly ready to fall off! But it was my own darned fault, as I was riding in cotton socks, having forgotten to put on wool ones before I left home. And then I was absolutely delighted to return home from my ride and find her sound asleep. I hope that this holiday break from school is a very restful one for her. Blessedly, she has today off, and of course tomorrow (Thanksgiving Day), but also Friday and Monday. We joke frequently about me giving her doctor's orders (since I have my Doctor of Musical Arts degree), and I just told her, "Doctor's orders for you to sleep extra on Monday!" 😇
