13th ride

Today was another day when I was unable to ride to work. On Fridays, the company that provides and launders our work uniforms (Cintas) picks them up, and since I dress at home, each Friday I carry my uniforms that need to be laundered to Firestone to drop them off. Since I could think of no way to carry them on the bike, I asked Michelle to drop me off today.

Needing to ride, though, I decided to kill two birds with one stone. Each week, I prepare and show the projections at our church (scripture and song lyrics). After this afternoon's Detroit Tigers home opener (a victory over the hated New York Yankees), I rode over to church to prepare the projections, pedaling with my heart singing in joy, and then rode home afterwards. This 6.1-mile round trip was enjoyable in the cool late afternoon and early evening sunshine, and took me just over 37 minutes.
