From Rosedale Ave., Bethesda, MD to C. St. SW, Washington, D.C. It's getting cooler--57F, but shorts and a T still feel good. I felt fairly strong (21mph on the flats) but slowed at the end. Weight 168.5.
Bicycling (Commute) 38:41 [4] 11.53 mi (3:21 / mi)
From C St. SW, Washington, D.C. to Rosedale Ave., Bethesda, MD via the Independence Ave. Starting out and in a rush, I did my bicycle courier impression mixing it with the cars up by drafting a stationwagon within a yard and going 25mph to the river. Just into Georgetown I got a flat (turns out my wheel had been rubbing on something and a hole had worn into the side). Eventually repaired enough to go on and late, I took off fast on the trail doing 21mph on the flats. There I caught an indistinct pace line of cycle commuters. After a draft I took off going up the hill. They took over after 3 miles and the pace quickened for a way. At a leader change the pace increased to 21.5mph going up toward River Rd. I started breaking contact but caught them again. It was exciting weaving through the others on the trail and being about a foot apart from others in the pace line but also a bit crazy.
