2021 mileage: 2960.4
I planned to ride to Matthei today, and it went OK for a while—leaving at 9:15, it was 52° and partly sunny. However, then I began to feel lacking in drive to do that long a ride. I was going along the same route I rode yesterday, but didn't want to do the exact same ride, so I extended it by going up to Washtenaw so that I could ride past the Big House (Michigan Stadium).
This only added less than 2 miles to the ride, but Ann Arbor is very hilly anyway, and this way had me climbing some really killer hills ... not necessarily steep or high, but very long and unrelenting. These hills were shaped by glaciers, the last of which slowly retreated from Michigan 9,500 - 15,000 years ago.
This gave me a good, challenging ride of 15.6 miles, in 1:46.
