Today, while as brilliantly sunny as yesterday (as the following picture shows), was significantly cooler. Yesterday's ride ranged from 58° to 63°‚ while today held at 46°. The riding was not unpleasant or uncomfortable, however, and I planned to ride consecutive round trips to Marsh Park, and am quite sure I would have done it, too. Except ...
On my return from the park, I carried on an exchange of texts with my younger brother, John (JB). After I had texted out the above picture, he commented with his typical waggish humor that he loved the high-rise helmet, and that I should rent out some apartment space up there. He later added that with the hat in there as well, he thought the helmet was a skyscraper yarmulke. As he is an Editor (and a darned fine one), I drew amusement out of being able to tell him that I thought (correctly) that he had misspelled yarmulke. But a later Google check showed me that I had it wrong, too—so I guess it all evened out.
Anyway, constrained by time, this exchange of texts slowed me enough that I figured I'd better settle for a single round trip once again, and did the 10.2 miles in another slow time (1:13 today).
