51st ride - 6/30/2015

This morning I went out at 6:00 a.m. (with my headlight flashing) and rode a round trip to the intersection of Woodland Dr. and Ann Arbor-Saline Rd. in the northern fringe of Saline (an 11.6 mile round trip that I did in 1 hour and 14 minutes. The entire ride was in an extremely light rain, which wasn't particularly bothersome except for the fact that I had to keep stop stopping to swab off my glasses (with a wet shirt), or it was like driving in a car whose windshield wipers were broken.

I had planned to ride consecutive such round trips, but the precipitation convinced me to wait and see if I could do another ride later today when it's a bit dryer.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON, 2:15 p.m.

I just got back from replicating this morning's route (though a bit quicker, shaving off 7 minutes to finish in 1:07)—but I must say, it's infinitely more desirable and enjoyable to ride in midday sunlight and no rain than it was starting off at 6:00 a.m. and doing the whole ride in the (light) rain!
