2021 mileage: 4021.5
Today was a huge, HUGE joy, as I got to ride with Christy for only about the third or fourth time ever. We had planned to meet out at our garage and ride at 7:30, and when she showed up a bit past 7:20, she told me that she had vainly hoped to beat me out there, but as I told her, I went out early to move our car and to air up my tires, as is a Sunday custom for me.
We had a lovely ride in early Sunday stillness and sunshine, going to Marsh Park and then two loops in Stonebridge on the way back. This gave us 14.9 miles in 1:39 ... as she slyly noted, I'm gradually working her to longer and longer rides. We hope to do the 20-mile Baker Rd. round trip sometime this fall, and then perhaps next year, the 31-miler to Matthei.
I was doubly glad to get a good ride in today, since tomorrow is out. Michelle and I are leaving this afternoon for a brief overnight getaway in a Bed and Breakfast over southwest of Lansing.
