Bicycling (Commute) 50:04 [3] 11.7 mi (4:17 / mi)
slept:6.75 weight:171lbs (injured)
From 12th St. & Independence Ave., Washington, D.C. to Rosedale Ave. in Bethesda, MD. Back in the saddle again; my bike had been there since my accident. I took it easy and didn't feel nervous with the cars. I left late from work with no panniers. I used a small backpack for my clothes but also carried a laptop on my back--about 12-15 lbs. more than usual (and taking work home is making feel like Heidi). When I did this commuting to Bowie in years past it attributed about a 31% longer ride but today it was only about 28%. slower. The time includes traffic lights. My shoulder was a little tight afterward.
