After allowing myself the day off yesterday, it felt good to get back to riding today, though I eased up and only did again a single round trip to Marsh Park, with the concluding loop in our complex to give me an even 10 miles in a slow 1 hour and 6 minutes. This was partly due to the cold (29°), and partly due to some minor mechanical mishaps I experienced early in the ride (balking at the weather, perhaps?), but they soon worked themselves out.
As I rode, the vocal musician in me couldn't help bubbling up, and I found a parody of "Over the River and Through the Woods" beginning to unfold in my head:

Over the trail and through the cold
Unto the park I ride.
The wheels and the like will carry the trike
As onward I will glide …
Over the trail and through the cold,
Oh, how the wind does blow.
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the trail I go
