Training Log Archive: Nadim

From Northfield Rd., Bethesda, MD. to 13th & C St. SW, Washington, D.C. The air was nice and comfortable; probably in the upper 50s F. I wore a t-shirt and shorts. The wind was calm. I rode a steady pace. Two guys passed me separately after River Rd., and I caught back up with one, drafting him until about the Trestle Bridge. He slowed as the trail got flatter. I eventually dropped him. Another guy was drafting me distantly. There was various trail and road construction work going on along the river after the Watergate complex. I felt pretty good riding.

From 13th & C St. SW, Washington, D.C. to Northfield Rd., Bethesda, MD. It was about as nice a day as it gets. I started out feeling sore from the morning ride but I had a little tailwind most of the way home. I got passed on the flats by 2 guys riding together. Later an electric mountain bike passed me on the climb, and after that, another cyclist. Just about everyone seemed to be outside either riding, running, or walking. Of course there was some driving traffic too. Overall though, the trails didn't seem overly crowded. I could pass without too much trouble.
