65th ride of 2016 - Wednesday, 5/4/2016

I rode three consecutive round trips to Mars\h Park this morning, for the first time since March 22. I've been beset by a lot of issues in recent weeks—health, mechanical problems, and weather. My ride today was slow—I covered the 26 miles in 2:54, though my record for that ride is 2:10:34, last October 22, on a day when I was really flying (for me)—but I'm glad that I at least got it done.

It was mild enough this morning that I wore a polo shirt, but riding, I was glad to have a jacket over it, with temperature in the low to mid-fifties. It was cloudy, and they had been calling for rain to move in this afternoon. I rode between 9 a.m. and noon, and my timing was exquisite, as it began raining just minutes after I finished.
