2021 mileage: 5174.0

This morning while riding, I watched the movie Shadowlands, which tells the tale of the meeting between C.S. Lewis and his future wife, Joy, when he was in his fifties, and the subsequent development of their friendship and then their marriage. This gave me a nice ride of 28.1 miles in 2:15.

The movie is based on a play, and the title is drawn from one of Lewis's stories (The Last Battle), the final one of the Chronicles of Narnia:

"There was a real railway accident," said Aslan softly. "Your father and mother and all of you are — as you used to call it in the Shadowlands — dead. The term is over: the holidays have begun. The dream is over: this is the morning."
