Day 302 and 303 – (AD 1,465) – 20.7 + 21.3 Miles – Jim’s Trek Part V – Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

Yesterday morning I pedaled 20.7 miles on my Schwinn 170. This morning I cycled an additional 21.3 miles. To date – 31,203.3 miles; 50,216.9 kilometers.

According to my calculations, this morning I reached my goal of Libra Montes. My new destination of Amenthes Rupes is 790 miles away. I completed 0.9% or 7.11 miles.

I now have 6,998.3 miles remaining in my overall journey of 38,201.6 miles.

You are going to have to start again because you’ll want to make another loaf.

 I made a “Throw 9-Ingredient Cake”. I didn’t have a Yellow Cake Mix in the pantry, so I used a Red-Velvet Cake Mix.

Here it is before going to bake.

And here it is baked.

Here it is before I cleaned my plate.

And for supper last night, apart from the Bread and the Cake, I made Greek Chicken Pasta.

And quess what? My early morning FBS dropped 36 points to 115 mg/dL.
