140th ride of 2016 - Wednesday, 8/17/2016

TOTAL MILEAGE FOR 2016 - 2246.7

Today I left at 6:15, in fairly dark, 64° conditions, hoping to ride three consecutive round trips to Marsh Park. And today, I actually did it! Although I covered the 26 miles in a relatively slow 3:11, I am glad that I was able at least to keep going.

As I rode, the sun rose, and by the time I was done, it was up to 74° under a gorgeous, cloudless blue sky.

Also, I was pleased to see my friend Carl Combs as I was heading back from the park toward home for the third time. Though it was nice to see him, at that point it was probably good that I am unable to speak anyway, because since I had been riding for over two and a half hours by that point, I was just eager to push on home and finish up.
