That's it, then

75.2 miles - up to Pentwater and back, with, of course, a cinnamon roll stop in Silver Lake. That's my last long ride until Asheville, and after Wednesday I won't have Ruby to ride, either. I've got my mountain bike set up with slick tires so I can keep my legs from atrophying into powerless flabby twigs, but that'll be a short-distance thing.

I've developed a pretty sore lower back, so a couple weeks of easy, short rides should help with that. Our mattress is over 10 years old, so that's probably not doing me any favors. Maybe I should sleep on the floor.
