Bicycling (Commute) 55:00 [2] 8.23 mi (6:41 / mi)
(injured)
From Northfield Rd., Custer Rd., to Glenbrook Rd., to Falls Rd., to the Capital Crescent Trail, to the Little Falls Trail near the Dalecarlia Reservoir, to Massachusetts Ave., to the Capital Crescent Trail to Woodmont Ave. on a detour just before Bethesda Ave., to Elm St., to Clarendon Rd., to Hampden Ln., to Exeter Rd., to Battery Ln., to Park Ln., to Custer Rd., to Northfield Rd. After doing some afternoon gardening, Samantha showed continued enthusiasm to ride. Peggy had literally dusted off her bicycle from the construction work in our home and rode with us too. Max was with a friend. We cruised along nicely. I still need to make some adjustments to the trail-a-bike hitch and Samantha's seat but we did pretty well. Unlike other rides, I could feel Samantha pedaling this time. We made a stop for dinner in downtown Bethesda, then another for a playground at Caroline Freeland Park. We finished the ride somewhere before 9pm in the dusk.
