2021 mileage: 2662.4
As Michelle and are leaving late this morning to celebrate Mother's Day with my in-laws, I knew that I'd have to ride early. So I left at 6:30 (sunrise today was at 6:20) and rode the Platt/Packard Square (13.7 miles) in 1:37.
It was brisk but tolerable, falling decidedly shy of what one would hope for on May 9. I began at a reading of 42° under cloudy skies, and that fell to 40° by the end of the ride.

Yesterday was cool, too, but it was a sunny and lovely morning:
