2022 mileage: 2273.5
The weather may FINALLY have begun to turn the corner, as tomorrow's high is forecast to be in the mid-sixties, Friday in the upper fifties, and both weekend days in the upper SEVENTIES! Today I was able to do only my 5th outdoor ride in Michigan this year. At 11:00 a.m., I enjoyed a temperature of 45° and partly sunny skies, with a bit of breeze (though it was nothing ferocious, it was enough to help keep me from overheating). I rode in shorts, and while my legs were fine, the lack of gloves was felt, and my hands at times experienced a touch of pain.
i clearly have some major rebuilding of my stamina to do for outside riding. I had originally thought of trying to do my route of nearly 14 miles; then when I began, I changed that and figured I'd just do the 10-mile round trip to Marsh Park. In the end, though, I caved in even from that modest goal, and just did a loop around Silo Ridge, for a ride of 6.4 miles in 46 minutes.
