159th ride - 11/23/2015

Not knowing for sure what the prospects would be for riding outside today, I went to LA Fitness this morning and did a brisk, full hour on the stationary bike. Then, this afternoon, I wished to add a bit to that—and it looked as if it might be OK to ride on the trail (and the sidewalk down to it). But, in the end, I concluded that it would be better to err on the side of caution, and give it another day, so I rode laps inside our condo complex. This was tedious, but safe, and at .47 mile per lap, 20 laps gave me 9.4 miles, or just 1 tenth of a mile shy of a round trip to Marsh Park.  It took me 59:47—not a great time by any means, but I just focused on counting off the laps, glad for this option. And water on the ground sprayed up and soaked my left glove, which made riding quite unpleasant in the 31° weather.
