141st ride

After riding to work as usual this morning, I planned throughout the day to make myself do a long ride home (by way of Saline). But when I emerged, about 4:30, after a longer-than-usual workday, into humid 87° sunshine, my resolve began to melt away. Even during the early part of the ride, before I had yet reached the point where I had to make a firm decision, I continued to waffle about it—but then, I felt it would be OK to cut myself a break today, and not try to be a superhero. So I rode directly home, to settle for a total daily ride today of 5.5 miles in 31 minutes.
