2022 mileage: 3580.6
The weak start to the month in riding that I commented on Wednesday continues—I didn't ride yesterday, as I had to take the trike to Wheels in Motion for brake issues. Today, though, I went out at 9:30 a.m. and rode the Platt/Packard Square (13.6 miles) in 1:38.
I experienced a dramatic moment as I rode north on the Platt Road Greenway, about a mile before I got to Lillie Park. Two deer bounded out of the subdivision on the right (east)—roughly two hundred yards ahead of me—and, hitting nothing, they leaped across Platt Rd. and continued on their way. It all happened much too quickly for me to be able to get a picture, of course.
Temperatures here in Ann Arbor have remained amazingly summer-like, hanging on into the 70s for most of this week. But last night, it just fell off a cliff, and my ride this morning featured breezy and chilly 45° conditions. It made this hoodie feel just right! I got it a few years ago, and love the way it proclaims me a Lifetime Member of Team Allen.
