226th ride of 2016 - Saturday, 12/31/2016

TOTAL MILEAGE FOR 2016 - 3572.4

Even though I aired up tires before my ride on Wednesday, the cold had reduced my air pressure in them to the point where I should have aired them up again today. I did not discover this, however, until I was out on the ride, and consequently today's ride was extremely slow and high challenging. It allowed me to close our 2016 having reached my goal (3500 miles), however—I got to ride on a partly sunny, and breezy, day, and did a single round trip to Marsh Park, riding the 10 miles in 1:27. Now the slate gets wiped clean, and tomorrow I start anew!
