2022 mileage: 1382.9

This afternoon during my ride, I watched my all-tim favorite movie: On Golden Pond. It earns this high praise for several factors, including its casting and its plot, but paramount is the matchless, magnificent musical score by Dave Grus. It is excellent throughout, but particularly appealing are the main theme, the atmospheric music when Norman (Henry Fonda) is confused and lost while picking strawberries early in the movie, and also when Norman and Billy Ray, Jr. visit Purgatory Cove toward the end of the movie.

A special favorite of mine is the jubilant New Hampshire Hornpipe, which is playing as Billy bounces across the lake driving the Thayer IV.

This gave me a ride of 27.0 miles in 1:47.
