I hopped on my bike today for the first time in weeks and had a fantastic ride through the perfect Autumn day. I maxed over 35 mph and averaged over 13 mph including the toughest hills in town. At one point I stopped to watch a neighborhood football game while munching a yummy Clif bar and looked up at the staggeringly clear blue sky, expecting to see stars at 3 o’clock pm. I kept riding until my odometer passed 700 miles for the year. Not as many as I would have liked, but it’s a surpassable figure for next season.
Later I went to Dunkin Donuts and bought a half dozen donuts. I’m finishing the last one as I type this :-)
