Surpassing 2100

Current Seasonal Total: 2,111.2

Today, I surpassed the 2100 mile mark! With cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-50s, my ride began a few minutes after 11 a.m. Although I had originally planned to ride along the crushed stone paths of Hawk Hollow and the West Branch Trails, the wet streets that greeted me early this morning changed my plans. Instead, I opted to ride along familiar paved streets in Bartlett, Hanover Park, Schaumburg and Roselle. Throughout my ride, a thin layer of moisture remained on the pavement, stubbornly refusing to evaporate. Thankfully, I felt no rain nor drizzle as I rode.

Today's ride was my 86th of the season. Will there be another day suitable for riding in the next few weeks? Only time will tell. If not, I could easily live with 2111 being my final figure for the season.
