However, after my most recent trip there (yesterday), where they straightened out the problems I was having, I was glad to be able to climb back in the saddle today and experience a problem-free ride, doing consecutive round trips to Marsh Park on a gray, gloomy, cool (58° at the conclusion) and windy day, turning in the 17.5 miles in 1 hour and 43 minutes.
Today's ride put me over 1800 miles for the year; when I told my friend Doug this week that I was thinking of adjusting my yearly goal from 2000 miles to 2500, he grinned and said, "That's what's good about you, Allen—you like to set nice, easy goals." And the other noteworthy thing about today's ride was that a short stretch of the Lohr-Textile Greenway (at Bicentennial Pkwy) was closed off by tape due to construction. However, this was easily circumvented by detouring onto the shoulder of the road for just a very few feet (about 10) and then cutting back up onto the path by crossing the grass.
