59th ride

I had hoped to do my typical Saturday morning long ride today, and was planning on the round trip to Chelsea (about 36 miles). But when lightning was flashing through our bedroom windows shortly before dawn, I rethought my plans, and went to LA Fitness for their 7 a.m. opening instead, to work out on the elliptical machine (as I did regularly last winter). This evening, though, with Michelle being gone (to a local Young People's Theater production of "The Little Mermaid"), and the increased daylight, I decided I might as well do a ride after the 4:00 Tigers game (which lasted until almost 7:00), so I rode my 8.8-mile "Textile Big Block" in 45 minutes.
