99th outdoor ride of 2022 - Monday, 10/24/2022

2022 mileage: 3745.1

Our amazing weather continues! I didn't take advantage of the bright sunshine and low seventies conditions yesterday afternoon, as we continued our annual fall tradition of visiting the Plymouth Orchard.

But I did get in a nice ride this afternoon, leaving at 2:30 in 74° partial sunshine, and riding the Platt/Packard Square (13.6 miles) in 1:48.

A cute moment occurred about 8 miles into the ride when I passed a group of five kids who appeared to be about 4 or 5 years old. They all looked at me with wide-eyed surprise, and then one girl (evidently the alpha female of the group) turned to the others, crossed her arms, nodded, and told them authoritatively, "It's both a bike AND a wheelchair!"

As I neared home, I saw this colorful shrub along Eisenhower Blvd. in front of Briarwood Mall.
