2021 mileage: 3599.8
Though conditions were spectacular (sunny and 71°), today's ride was frustrating early on. Inexplicably, the MapMyRide app kept slipping out of Active mode -- fortunately, the Vocal Feedback was working fine, and every couple of minutes, I'd hear, "Workout paused," and have to dig my phone out and restart it. (The app seems to be in kind of a funky stretch right now, as it was having issues yesterday, too.) I was able to do this without completely stopping, but as a result it cost me somewhat on the measurement of my ride. However, I rode the Platt/Packard Square, a ride I've done many times before, and so know that it was about 13.6 miles in roughly 1:40.
It was dismaying when I finished my ride, and was figuring up my stats at home, to see that I finished at just 2/10 miles shy of 3600 for the year. Had I known I was that close, I'd have done the half-mile lap in our complex and broken the milestone. However, it should be very easy to achieve tomorrow!
When I rode by Lillie Park, I chuckled and had to take a picture of the sign. My friends Tim and Stephanie Matthews, on a ride yesterday afternoon for which I gave them the route, mentioned going by Lillie Park, and not long after that they became unsure of their way. But they told the story to us, and then the park cropped up in a game we played last night, when the category was, "Places the Matthews family has visited in Michigan," and Michelle responded, "Lillie Park."😆
