91st ride

I rode to work again this morning, and then after work rode to church to do my weekly work of creating the projections for Sunday's worship. Afterwards, I lengthened my ride home slightly, goint about 5 miles rather than the 3 or so that it is if I go directly home. But still, this was a far cry from the 13.5-mile ride I had intended to do. But as I rode along, I began to sense that one of the reasons that my riding is more wobbly than it should be, and my pedaling less powerful, is because my seat remained too low (even though it had been adjusted upwards very slightly on two previous occasions). This positioning meant that I was unable to get full leg extension, and the legs eventually began to cramp up a bit. So I felt it would be prudent to come up and make another slight upward adjustment before doing a long ride, and that's just what I did.

 

Anyway, between the morning and afternoon rides, I had a daily total of 9.3 miles (just a bit short of the 10-mile minimum I like to aim for), in 59 minutes.
