2022 mileage: 2313.5
On a stunningly beautiful morning today, I left a few minutes before 8:30 in 45° sunshine (but up to 70° by the time I finished, a bit past noon!), and rode a round trip to the Matthei Botanical Gardens for my first trip there since July 24. About four miles into the ride, I got this picture beside the pond south of Textile, just west of State Rd.
About halfway from our home to Matthei, I pass by Lillie Park, a favorite stopping point for me.
Then at Matthei, I always take a picture of this sign, the point where I turn around and head back home, and text it to my dear Michelle, my daughter Christy, and my sister Marianne.
On the way home, i stopped by Dixboro Dam and got this picture.
However, I fumbled my phone, and though it did not drop to the ground, it still managed to shut off the MapMyRide app, so that I had restart it for the last part of the ride, and thus I have two videos from today.
Further on, I eased up on myself just a bit and followed Packard and Eisenhower back west, rather than returning all the way back south to Textile Rd. This cut off a few miles, but I still had a good, substantial ride, totaling 26.4 miles in 3:15.
