2022 mileage: 2021.8

After being unable to ride yesterday because we were in the car all day, returning from our vacation to Alabama, I was glad to get back to it today. I had considered trying to bundle up and ride outside this afternoon, even though it would have been a dramatic difference from the weather down south, since it was in the low forties for a high here today. But I had forgotten that my trike is at the dealer in Dearborn, getting a spring tune-up ... I figured while we were gone would be a good time for this. So I'll pick it up tomorrow.

Glad, though, for the option of my stationary bike, I rode 33.7 virtual miles in 2:15 while watching Forrest Gump, the winner of the Oscar for Best Picture in 1995. I saw it when it was in the theaters, but not since then. In the intervening 27 years, although I remembered some of its iconic lines (such as "Life is like a box of chocolates"), I had forgotten that he is from Alabama, which seemed eerily appropriate since we were just there.

Reached a big milestone today, too, going over 2000 miles for the year.
