Cherry Blossom Ride














I got out of work early today to enjoy the 75 degree weather. I headed down to the tidal basin to ride -- which was beautiful, but crowded with all the tourists admiring the cherry blossoms which were in full bloom.

Ride Stats:
16.7 miles
Total time: 1hr 5mins
AVG: 15.5 (pretty good considering the wind)
My Odometer now reads: 285 miles

A half century weekend


Today, I got out for a 20 mile ride. 50 miles over two days has taken its toll on my out of shape legs. I am layed up on the couch right now enjoying a frosty beverage to numb the soreness.

Ride Stats: 20 miles AVG SPD: 14.8 MPH TIME: 1hr 21min TOP SPEED: 30 MPH MY ODOMETER NOW READS: 253 MILES

I am out of shape

February was so miserably cold that I couldn't get out much. So when the weather took an unexpected turn for the better yesterday -- much better, 70's and sun -- I was a little bit out of riding shape.

I set out to ride 40 miles....but when I hit mile 27 I knew that was it. I rode 20 miles on the Virginia trails and then a couple laps at Haines point.

Ride Stats:
30.2 Miles
TOTAL TIME: 2 hrs 11 mins
