I thought about it. I considered riding in small circles in the parking lot across the street. EXCEPT:

1) The lot is closed until the next school year opens. The school it belongs to is undergoing major renovations and the construction guys have taken over.

2) I'm a little over a month out from knee surgery. A century would be pushing it.

3) DH pointed out that I'd be doing under 10 mph in that small lot. A little basic math revealed I'd be there 12 hours or more.

Maybe I'll try next year. I'll be working on the plan until then.
