From Northfield Rd., Bethesda, MD. to 13th & C St. SW, Washington, D.C. I knew it'd be warm later today, and since I didn't ride yesterday, I decided to do that today. I moved normally getting to the Bradley Blvd. but with other cyclists around I picked up the pace. I had been telling myself not to ride hard today but on the CCT I caught one who'd been slower getting around other cyclists and walkers. The guy was much stronger than me as he took off. I hung on, almost losing him a few times as we slowed and sped up to pass others. Eventually there were others behind me. I was in Georgetown in under 23 minutes which is a good pace. The guy I'd been following slowed and so did I. Others didn't so much but we caught some of them before breaking up at the end of Georgetown. I road much more calmly afterward. This was probably my fastest ride into work this year.

From 13th & C St. SW, Washington, D.C. to Northfield Rd., Bethesda, MD. Starting out, I was sore from the morning ride and there were headwinds getting to Georgetown. The temperature was 97 F at 5pm but maybe a little cooler when I got going. I settled into a comfortable pace and didn't get passed until near Falls Rd.
