2022 mileage: 3758.7
First of all, I am highly disappointed at myself, to have only reached the 100th outdoor ride of this year 299 days into the year. I like to think of myself as riding 6 days a week, but THAT clearly isn't happening!
And then, today's ride was also a challenging and frustrating one, for a couple of reasons. The first was mechanical. I neglected to check the air pressure in my tires before starting out, and I think they must have been considerably sub-optimal, as pedaling was hard, and my ride was super slow (by far the slowest I've ever ridden that route—13.6 miles in 2:07, whereas it usually takes me roughly 1:40-1:45). I'm going to try diligently to avoid repeating that error in the future.
The second thing was the weather. It was gloomy, with unbroken cloud cover, and super moist. Whereas I was able to avoid the rain most of the way, but a light rain began in the last several miles, turning my glasses into a prism.
