After rising at 4:45 today, I set out at 6:15, and did my longest ride to date, going 3 consecutive round trips to Marsh Park for a total of 25.5 miles in 2 hours and 34 minutes. Today's ride also put me over 300 miles for the month of June so far (in May I rode 272.7 miles)—my best month for riding in 2013, when I was on a regular bicycle, was 383.7 in July of that year—but that was a whole different experience than riding the trike is!
As I rode, I sang loudly and joyously (in my head) "Brand New Day," the song I learned in our Christian fellowship group at Interlochen, which I often sing in the early hours of the day.
It's a brand new day, everything is fine; though it may seem gray, I want you to know that the sun's gonna shine! And out of the sky piercing every cloud is our God on high! There'll be a new heart for every man, like the flowers that bloom in early spring. For every life there is a plan, no matter what autumn breezes bring. So put away cares, let freedom be yours, joy is everywhere—joy is everywhere! Let freedom ring, alleluia now, everybody sing, let your voices shout to the mighty King!
