106th ride

This morning I rode to work again, and then experienced another frustratingly short workday, where they ran out of things for me to do by 1:30. I was very tempted to ride directly home and read on our patio (a pastime of which Michelle and I have become extremely fond in recent days)—but instead I chose to make myself do another long ride home by way of Saline. This 13.7-mile ride, in addition to the morning, gave me a good day's ride of 15.9 miles in a relaxed 1 hour 30 minutes. And, although I only have a small zippered pouch on the handlebars of my bike, I managed to figure out a way to stop at Meijer on the way home, pick up a few groceries, and transport them safely home—some in my lunchbox (which I carry hung about my neck), some in that zippered pouch, and one item in a small bag which I was able to hang onto easily for the short ride home from Meijer (less than a mile).
