118th ride

I chose not to do a long ride this morning in order to spend the time with Michelle, and we highly enjoyed our time together. We rode down and had a breakfast date at Nick's House of Pancakes, a place we've found that we really like a lot, a little less than a mile from us.

Then afterwards, we decided to take our bikes to Gallup Park and ride there. Getting the bike carrier fastened to the car and both bikes securely on it ended up being kind of a comedy of errors, taking us three or four attempts to get it really done right. But I'm glad we persevered, as it was a lovely day for a ride—sunny and pleasantly warm—and once we got to Gallup Park, we did an easy ride down to Parker Mill, where we rested and talked a bit, and then headed back to our car, for a total ride of about 4 miles, in 25 minutes. Along with our ride to Nick's this morning, we did about 5 and a half miles on the day, in roughly 35 minutes—not pushing ourselves in any way, but thoroughly enjoying the time together.
