2021 mileage: 4284.6
On Friday, I made the long drive (roughly 235 miles) up to Interlochen in northern Michigan for a reunion of my high school alma mater, the Interlochen Arts Academy (a fine arts boarding school). Today I made the trip back home, and in addition to having to take the last two days off from riding, I was thinking I'd take today off, too, given the long drive. But then I realized that with the Great Cycle Challenge I'm riding in September (as a fundraiser to help fight children's cancer), my goal of 400 miles for the month was in jeopardy if I took today entirely off.
So, sticking with my recent theme of baseball movies, I climbed on the stationary bike late this afternoon and rode 16.5 miles in 1:10 while watching the first half of Moneyball, the 2011 movie starring Brad Pitt that looks at the Oakland A's and their approach to building a team based on statistics, in order to help fight (as a low-budget team) the advantage possessed by big-money clubs like the New York Yankees.
