Today's 36.8-mile ride (average speed: 17.05 miles per hour) gave me another great month on the bike. The temperature today ranged from 64º to 72º, with sunny skies and a light wind. What a joy it is to be outside, exerting, in such glorious conditions! This past Friday, by contrast, the wind chill was 43º both when I left the house and when I returned, three hours later. I ride all year 'round, no matter what the weather. It's good to be hardy. Today's ride gives me 544 miles for October and 4,672.6 for the year. I've revised my goal upward, to 6,000 miles for 2017. If I achieve it (and you know I will), I will have pedaled 6,000 miles during the year in which I turned 60.
