2021 mileage: 1002.3

I scaled back today, and only did a two-and-a-half hour ride instead of the three hours I did both Sunday and yesterday.

However, colder temps await us ... by 4 a.m. tomorrow, it's supposed to be down to 5°.

For my virtual ride today, I went to Italy and enjoyed a brilliantly sunny ride through the hills of the Tyrolean area (the northern part of the country). Thought: I wonder if Italians hold their foot up and point to it to show where they live, the way we Michiganders do with our hand to show where we live in the Mitten.  ðŸ˜Ž 

Virtual ride, South Tyrol, Italy
