The day started with a chilly (44 degrees) commute to work (2.85 miles). I encountered a high school girls gym class on the B&A trail this morning. Most had bleary eyes and a “I can’t believe I’m out here in the cold at 7:45 am walking on this stupid trail” look to them. I smiled.
The return commute for lunch was my first attempt at using the Garmin’s course feature. It worked pretty well. I made it back a minute faster than the course I had set up from last week’s commute (2.76 miles).
I wanted a new route for my minimum 1 hour scheduled ride today so I jumped on to a Severna Park Peleton member’s log page and discovered a “Solley Rd” route. With only one miscue, and independent re-routing to fit my preferences, I tried a similar route. I think because of a long stretch without cross streets and the need to stop for traffic, it bumped me up to my fastest average time (17.3 mph) and my fastest 5 mile split (18.3 mph). Nice ride. Comfortable.
