I had intended to ride three round trips to Marsh Park today. But I have been making good progress on the Requiem I am composing (my biggest piece to date—a seven-movement work for chorus, organ, harp, flute, oboe, violin, and cello), and could feel that calling me to return and work more on it. So I cut myself back to doing only a single round trip, and finished this 9.5-mile ride in 54 minutes.
I usually like to ride as early as possible in the morning—when "all is calm, all is bright." (Well, not too bright when riding real early at this time of year!) But this morning at 8:00 it was still only 30°, so I decided to devote the morning to composition, and wait to ride until early afternoon, and was rewarded for this decision by an enjoyable ride at 12:15 p.m. in 45° sunshine.
