119th outdoor ride of 2021 - Friday, August 20, 2021

2021 mileage: 3891.9

This morning when I set out at 7:45, it was with every intention of riding the round trip to Baker Rd. But it was already warm (68°) and quite humid, with those conditions only destined to worsen.  I hate to admit it, but I simply was lazy and didn't feel like battling the heat and humidity. So within a few miles, I allowed myself to be tempted by the prospect of a shorter ride. (Though I find this excuse to be weak, flimsy, and insufficient.)

Additionally, the college football season begins two weeks from tomorrow. Pondering that, I thought it would be fun to ride by Michigan Stadium (nicknamed The Big House by legendary sports broadcaster Keith Jackson several decades ago), so I made the changes necessary to bring that about.

This gave me a ride of 7.4 miles (in 1:02).
