TOTAL MILEAGE FOR 2016 - 3346.9
Today, as our glorious weather persists, I set out at 11:15 in 52° sunshine and rode consecutive round trips to Marsh Park, covering the 18 miles in 1:55. I had strongly considered riding three, but was eager to get to a choral anthem I am just beginning. I wrestled over this option for a while in my mind, but then recalled the words of my friend and former teacher, J. Larry Roberts, who died this past July 14. When I would report on pondering this sort of decision, Larry would tell me (and I could see the twinkle in his eye as he wrote it), "Music is your gift. You are not likely to achieve renown as a cyclist." (I didn't tell him, but I thought to myself, "I'm not likely to achieve renown in any field of endeavor!)
