106th ride of 2018 - Saturday, 10/20/2018

2018 mileage: 2721.4

With Michigan's big "backyard brawl" rivalry game against Michigan State at noon today, it was critical for me to get out and ride early, so that I could also squeeze in piano practice before the game. And, fortunately, this all worked out—I began my ride at 8:00, in 44° cloudy conditions, and rode to Baker Rd. once more, completing the the 20.3 miles in 2:37 and finishing at 50°.

On the way back from Dexter I listened to my John Denver playlist on Spotify, but they must have an algorithm that when all the songs of a playlist have finished, they provide other songs which they find to be similar in lyrics and/or general musical style. Interestingly, what came on in the last couple of minutes of my ride was a piece I remember from my boyhood, but hadn't heard in half a century—1967's Georgy Girl.
