Tonight after work I went to my mom's house in Grosse Pointe and rode a great 20 miles there. She lives in the Woods and I took a meandering route down to Windmill Pointe and back. I felt a little like Danny Noonan in the first scene of Caddyshack.
It was a great ride because the weather was perfect, the scenery is nice, roads are pretty smooth, and traffic is light. Plus given the vigilence of the local police force and the elevated median age of the population, no one drives real fast. As a matter of fact I was averaging 18-20 mph and a handful of cars just fell in behind me rather than passing me even though there was ample time and space to do so safely. Also I saw a cool old Rolls-Royce in the City.
So it's definitely a ride I'll do again before I hit the road.
Speaking of hitting the road, I purchased my one-way tickets to San Francisco and home from DC, which is exciting.
