60th outdoor ride of 2021 - Saturday, May 29, 2021

2021 mileage: 2986.4

Last night before going to bed, I told Michelle enthusiastically, "If I can ride to Matthei in the morning, it will put me over 3000 miles for the year!" She then replied, "Yeah, but you might want to rethink that if you're going to visit your siblings in the afternoon!" (My younger sister, Marianne, is visiting Michigan for the holiday weekend, and staying with my little brother, who lives just over an hour drive from our Ann Arbor home.)

Heeding this wisdom, I scaled back, and started late this morning (9:15), and also cut the ride down to a single round trip to Marsh Park, augmented on the way home by loops on Interfirst and in the Bicentennial subdivision, for a ride of 12.4 miles in 1:28 on a beautiful sunny morning, ranging from 47° at the start to 55° when I finished. I did, however, have to once again battle a vigorous wind—16 mph out of the northeast.
