“Ride #2: Sunny and Beautiful”

April 9, 2001

Man it was great out there today! Sunny all day long, and the temperature actually reached 70° for about an hour, around 4 PM.

I've found my route for the rest of the month, too. 10.16 miles, and all but about 3.5 miles is on back roads: I don't think I saw more than one car on those back roads.

10.16 miles in just under 38 minutes. That's an improvement over the first ride of the season, but I'm not sure it counts. The average may have increased simply because the extra mile and a half all fell post-warm-up-phase. (It generally takes me three or four miles to hit my stride.)
