When I ride out to Marsh Park on the Lohr-Textile Greenway, I pass a road heading off to the right (south) from Textile (toward Saline), called Bicentennial Pkwy., that looks like it goes into a quiet subdivision. I was curious about more precisely where it goes, so I checked it out on mapquest, and found that it connects to Community Dr., which then runs south to connect to Campus Pkwy, running by Saline High School—a route I have taken often before. (I used to ride home that way from work nearly daily back in 2013.) So, riding slowly, exploring, since I wasn't yet sure if it would enable me to keep to my goal of staying off the road (but it did!), I did this route today, and circled back up to Textile via Industrial and Woodland, and then did the loop again, for a total of 14.8 miles in 1 hour and 37 minutes.
I also wore a special shirt. In 2009, the little village of Addison, Michigan, where I was born (in the now gone Addison Community Hospital) and where I went to school through the 10th grade, celebrated their 175th anniversary. I was still running at that time, but I had a conflicting commitment the day that they held the commemorative 5K run/walk. However, on her own doing, Mom thoughtfully went out of her way to get me this shirt. I like its reminder of my roots ... and also its bright color!
