28th outdoor ride of 2021 - Saturday, April 24, 2021

 2021 mileage: 2454.5

Today, I needed to ride early in order to beat the rain that's moving in. So I left at 7:30 (at that, a half hour later than I had intended) and rode a round trip to Matthei Botanical Gardens. However, I shortened it significantly, and instead of my normal round trip of 31+ miles, today was 22.8 miles (in 2:34).

This truncation was achieved by riding the long east-west axis on the sidewalk beside Eisemhower/Packard, rather than going all the way south to Textile Rd. and then riding the path beside it, as I usually do.

I went through Gallup Park both on my way to Matthei and on my return home, and on this later leg I got a picture of the canoe rental area in the park, on the Huron River.




The temperature was enjoyably refreshing when I began (42°), and up to 53° by the end.
