I was conflicted this morning about the length of my ride. I wanted to do multiple round trips to Marsh Park ... but during the second half of the first one, I began hearing a suspicious noise from my rear wheel, and feared getting to the park (about 5 miles from home) and then needing to walk back home. (I have my cell phone when I ride, and could text for help, but Michelle is at work, as is my friend Doug). While a 5-mile walk in my tennis shoes would just be a nice warm-up jaunt, doing it in my biking shoes with the metal clips on the bottom of them would be significantly more challenging.
So, in the end, I decided to scale back and settle for a single round trip, doing this 9.5-mile ride in 58 minutes. It was sunny but cool (50°) with a fairly strong (22 mph) and steady southwest wind that I was fighting. But, according to the forecast, a marked change is on the way! Tomorrow's high is predicted to be 46°, and they're saying we'll get several inches of snow Saturday morning.
