73rd outdoor ride of 2022 - Thursday, September 1, 2022

2022 mileage: 3332.2

In gorgeous conditions today (bright sunshine, and temperature climbing from 66° to 73°), I began at 9:00 and rode the Platt/Packard Square (13.5 miles) in 1:50 (The video, however, does not record that entire mileage, because the MapMyRide app was acting funky and kept shutting off, and each time this happened i lost a little distance until I could get it restarted.

Also, I was happy to see my friend Doug Franklin in the early part of my ride today, striding northward on the Lohr/Textile Greenway away from his Saline home during his daily walk.
