2021 mileage: 3922.8
I did not ride yesterday, as the oboe professor at University of Michigan, Nancy Ambrose King, is playing my oboe solo Death and Resurrection at our church on Sunday, with me as her pianist, and my whole focus for the day was on our afternoon rehearsal—I didn't want to dilute that at all.
This morning I began by airing up the tires in my old trike (my backup, which was my regular ride before I got the new one last October). I usually ride with them at about 70 psi (pounds per square inch), but they were down to about 30 after my not having ridden the trike all winter and it sat untouched in our garage for the last 10 months. Given this I feel extremely fortunate to have been able even to get safely through a slow two miles on Monday.
With the proper air, though, it rode very nicely, and I went around the Platt/Packard Square plus a concluding loop in our complex (13.9 miles) in a speedy time of 1:25.
One unfortunate occurrence, though, is that my keys seem to have fallen out of my pocket sometime during the ride, so now I will begin the lengthy process of reassembling what I need.
