Today's ride was—well, let's say "refreshing." I abandoned my original plan to ride in the morning, in order to let it warm up a bit, and when I went out to begin at 12:10, it was in 35° partial sunshine, with a bit of a breeze to help me along (10 mph from the NW).
Though I felt amply refreshed, these balmy conditions induced me to limit my ride to a single round trip to Marsh Park (10.2 miles in 1:08).
My original goal for the year (4000 miles) has long been out of reach—while still mathematically feasible, I'd have to average 48.15 miles/day for the rest of the year to make it. However, 3500 miles seems much more realistic and doable to me ... I'll need to average 12.44 miles/day for the next 2 weeks, and given that my workouts on the stationary bike at LA Fitness have settled into a regular routine of 20 miles, I hope I'll be OK (even though, of course, they are closed on Christmas Day).
