2022 mileage: 4536.6

With Michelle and I having had a very full (and pleasant) Christmas Day, there was no time for a ride yesterday, so it was good to get back to it today. I was just beginning a ride during the next installment of the Star Wars series (Attack of the Clones), which runs at nearly two and a half hours, when Michelle called me away to a more pressing task. This ended up giving me an exceptionally brief ride -- only 4.5 miles in 19 minutes.
