TOTAL MILEAGE FOR 2016 - 3164.4
Today I had every intention of doing a longer ride (3 round trips) and was prepared physically and mentally to carry through on this. But I've been somewhat "in the zone" lately compositionally, feeling especially good about a handbell piece I finished earlier this week. So during the early part of today's ride, when ideas started flooding my head for a new handbell piece, I was too eager to get home and begin working them out to do any more than a single round trip, and so covered the 10 miles in 1:07, after starting at 11:00 a.m. in partly sunny 53° conditions, and finishing when it was 56°. I was happy, too, to pass my friend Doris Granum while riding down near the park, and she had evidently seen a photo I posted on Facebook yesterday, as she cheerfully called out an encouraging remark about my new "tornadoes."
