80th ride of 2016 - Friday, 5/27/2016

Today, I'm so happy that Michelle has the day off, as part of a long holiday weekend. So while she slept in, I left early (though not too early, at 8:00) and did a long ride, out to Baker Rd. (Dexter), which I can reach all on walks. I did a little extra, too—for instance, going both north and south on Zeeb Rd. as far as i could, until the walks stopped, and then also, when coming  back into town, my mileage was increased a bit because sidewalks where I had planned to ride were closed due to repair, so I had to change my route a bit. As I told Michelle last night, my new trike makes me much more confident in doing a longer ride and not having to fear some kind of mechanical snafu. Today measured out to 24.0 miles, which I sauntered through quite leisurely, in 3:01.
