61st ride of 2018 - Tuesday, 7/31/2018

2018 mileage: 1800.2

Michelle and I planned to leave at 10 a.m. today to go visit her parents, so I rode early. But when I got home, she was flat on her back with vertigo -- sadly, a not-uncommon ailment for her.

At any rate, I was glad to get in a good ride. And I had checked my mileage just before leaving, so I knew right where I stood, and what I needed to reach the new mileage milestone. I rode a round trip to Dexter (Baker Rd.) for the second consecutive day, and tacked on just a little extra riding at the end to make this mileage goal. The ride of 19.5 miles took me 2:53, beginning shortly before sunrise in 60° pale light, and finishing at 70°, with the day well advanced


Another statistic also delighted me. I suppose it is sort of cheating, in a way, to check my weight right after a long ride, but nevertheless, I did climb onto the scale before hopping into the shower and was tickled to see my weight the lowest it's been since last October.
