So I jet out of work ten minutes early on a steamy Thursday evening to get in what I think will be the quickest of rides. A meager 10 miles -- enough to take one leg off what promises to be a mammoth weekend -- was my goal...just enough to get the blood pumping.
I get down to Haines Point intended to do one lap and go home. But to my pleasant surprise, it is the fabled Thursday ride night at Haines Point. This is the night that hundreds of DC area riders show up and ride together in a paceline that speeds past singles with ease.
I joined the paceline and averaged 23 mph over 9.6 miles -- 3 laps. Tons of fun...
Stats:
17 miles
1 hour
AVG: 17 mph
Max: 32.4 (on a flat in the paceline)
Odometer: 664
