I rode well in the morning. It was my first commute to a new office downtown. There are connecting MUP and offroad trails and it's a fun and beautiful ride. But storms have washed out some sections and construction has rerouted others. It can get a little confusing in the places where the trails cross and connect, at least for a no-sense-of-direction human such as myself.

So...

I missed a turn on the way home and rode the wrong trail for a few miles. Too hot for that. Had to retrace, then make the turn, which basically put me at the beginning of my ride, but 5 or so miles into it. I think I did 13 or 14 on the way home.

Bad news: I'm an idiot and should have known better.
Good news: How often do I get to ride 14 miles after work, on a new bike at that?

When I got home I was thinking I'd skip tomorrow, but maybe I'll call it a recovery ride instead.
