2022 mileage: 3529.9
This morning I pushed myself out the door at 10:15 in decidedly cooler weather (52° I began, up to 57° at the end, and I realize the temperature won't be climbing during my rides for too much longer) and rode the Packard/Platt Square (13.5 miles) in 1:44. I was happy to see Doug Franklin again today, too, as I was finishing up my ride (with about 2 miles to go).
I am riding for the second consecutive year in the Great Cycle Challenge, a nationwide fundraiser to help address the issue of childhood cancer. The goal is to ride at least 200 miles during the month, and I bumped over that threshold today. Last year I did over 500 miles for the month, and while I am not doing as well this year in either mileage or in fundraising, I am grateful to have the opportunity to do whatever I can for this important cause. I ride at the invitation of my young cousin, Dave Harris. (At least he seems young to me, as I am 65 and he is 50. I'm sure, however, that there are plenty of days when he himself does not feel so young!)
Anyone wishing to donate to support my efforts in the Great Cycle Challenge may do so here.
