140th ride

I left just past 6:30 this morning and rode my now-familiar route to Saline and back. Due to the suboptimal lighting at that time of day (not dark, but certainly far from bright daylight yet) and patches of fog which lay in our area, I was happy to have my flashing headlight (courtesy of my loving sister Marianne) and flashing taillight.

I thought I was making pretty good time, as I did the 12.4 miles in an hour and 2 minutes, and I was thinking that my best previous was about 1:08. But I had forgotten how hard I pushed last week, riding it in 58 minutes. Oh well! Today's was still a good ride.

When our worship schedule changes from 10:00 a.m. back to 8:45 in a couple of weeks, I haven't yet decided whether I'll still try to squeeze in a pre-church ride. With my lights, and my fondness for early morning, it would be feasible—just. But I need to do some more pondering on whether it would be prudent.
