2022 mileage: 3476.9
After riding on Saturday, I took Sunday off, as I frequently do. Then, since Monday was Queen Elizabeth's funeral, I watched that so that I could luxuriate in the glorious music, and thus took a virtually unprecedented second straight day off. Yesterday, I was inexplicably completely whipped, and listening to my body, I felt it would be prudent to nap rather than ride.
Consequently, today I was, while not desperate, very eager to get back to riding. However, I ended up having to settle for a very short ride. My loving daughter gave me, in support of my riding, a holder for a water bottle so that I could stay hydrated during my rides. I tried to fasten it to the upright leading to the handlebar, as shown in the following picture. However, it kept coming loose, and stopping me by jamming between the frame and the wheel. I tried it on both the right and the left side, with equal lack of success. So it appears that I'lll have to enlist the help of either Michelle (my dear wife) or Christy (my dear daughter) to get it to work.
Because of this difficulty, I settled for a 5-mile loop around Briarwood, and felt as if I was finished virtually before I had gotten going (as compared to my usual 13.5-mile rides).
