I rode a round trip to Marsh Park this morning, in seasonably fallish conditions—40° and windy (though not nearly as dramatically windy as it was yesterday, or it's supposed to get later today), with quite a lot of water on the asphalt trail from all the rain we received yesterday and last night, and that sprayed me. And they are saying that 'wind-chills' (BOO!) are in the twenties. I am struck by how strikingly different it is riding now than when I got the trike and had my first ride on it, back on May 2 (shown in this picture).
I had considered doing two or even three round trips, but ended up concluding that after an eight-day layoff, it would be more prudent to break back in more moderately. The several extended layoffs I've endured this year have certainly cost me the outside hope I entertained of making 3000 miles (I'm now at 2171.8), but 2500 should certainly be very feasible unless an unexpected heavy big early snow rolls in
