Sometimes the local park feels like Lapland; not to be confused with the Arctic region. But riding round and round that path  can have peculiar effects on my brain; such as thinking up bad jokes. Hence the comment about Lapland.

I chose to ride in the park this morning because the wind felt rather stiff; and my legs felt tired. I didn’t try to hurry; and I did only three laps before heading home.

In addition to getting tired, I was starting to feel too warm. I thought that leg warmers and a lightweight jacket were a good idea; it was 71 degrees. I forgot how quickly it warms up now! I had a water bottle with me; but wished I had electrolyte drink before I finished the ride.
