2022 mileage: 1234.3

Yesterday, I decided to take a (rare) day off. During today's ride I watched a powerful movie: 12 Years a Slave, (based on a true story), which won the Oscar for Best Picture in 2014. "In the years before the Civil War, Solomon Northup, a free black man from upstate New York, is kidnapped and sold into slavery in the South. Subjected to the cruelty of one malevolent owner, he also finds unexpected kindness from another, as he struggles continually to survive and maintain some of his dignity. Then in the 12th year of the disheartening ordeal, a chance meeting with an abolitionist from Canada changes Solomon's life forever."

This gave me a ride of 31.0 miles, in 2:07.
