It was my longest ride of the year so far. All of my rides are shorter now but this one was almost long enough to make it to the Port Sheldon Party Store and back. That will be a big deal if I get any miles near the PSPS this summer.
The reason why it was longer is because I needed a couple of extra miles for a milestone. Here is a LOOK at my odometer after I arrived home and before I moved that bicycle into permanent retirement.
That's going to be enough for that bicycle. Here is what it looked like when it first arrived at my house.
*sigh*
I replied that I was and thanked her for her concern. She continued, asking if I needed any water. I showed her my two water bottles.
*sigh* again.
Well, it was a hot day, and that lady's old dog looked like it was overheating and could have used some water.
We had some silvicultural excitement in our back yard this morning.
TOPWLH just so happens to have already scheduled some men to come out and check on some of the other trees. They can take care of this bit in the course of their other already scheduled business we are both sure.
One time around the planet. Imagine that.

WOW. Just WOW. Good on ya.
Ditto to what your sister said. And great picture of the really big branch. I am glad it missed the deck.
The mention of the PSPS should be motivating to me -- I haven't gotten very close to it yet, and it would normally have been checked off much earlier than this. I've been thinking about stretching out my rides, but that's still a big stretch. I suppose I should get started -- only of importance if you actually get any miles near the PSPS this summer. I hope so, of course.
That is an extraordinary number of miles. And you have other bicycles with lots of miles on them too! Amazing. You deserve some sort of award/trophy - I'm sure Norah would heartily agree.
