When I got home from church today, I very briefly entertained the idea of riding two round trips to Marsh Park. But it didn't take too long of being out in 32° weather to disabuse me of that notion (even though I've done considerably colder rides). I think I decided to let 40° be my threshold for stepping it up to a longer ride.
I also had to contend with a dynamic which I've dealt with previously, but not in recent weeks. I came home after church today and began a praise song on one of the scripture texts we heard in worship, and made very good progress on it. The progress was so good, in fact, that I was tempted to skip riding in order to keep working on the song. But in the end, I felt that it was important to keep some balance in regard to this issue, so I should ride, and then come back home to compose.
Anyway, I was glad to be able to go, doing a single round trip to Marsh Park and the (now-obligatory) concluding loop in our complex, to give me 10 miles in 1 hour and 8 minutes.
