Ride updates

I have been out on four rides since my last post.

19 miles, 26 miles, 18 miles and 20 miles.

Last night's 20 miler was brutal for some reason. I was at Haines Point riding in the big group. I rode a few laps on my own then joined the group for three. It was everything I had to stay with the group. Either they were going faster than they usually do (possible because I joined them 35 minutes later than usual and they speed up each lap) or I am not in good enough shape.

Odometer: 474

I also got to ride with my new jersey...been wanting a white jersey for a while and it came in the mail 2 days ago:

Wet ride

I set out to ride last night after 3 solid days of rain. When I got down to Haines Point I discovered the whole place was flooded from the overflowing Potomac. Needless to say, my ride was cut short.

13 miles.

Rainy ride

Last night at Haines the road was still wet from the rain. Not many folks were out there. That fact combined with the after-rainfall stillness made it very quiet and calm. Nice riding...

15 miles

Wednesday ride

25 miles at Haines last night.

Ride updates

A few entries since the last post...on Friday I stole away for 15 miles at lunch. On Sunday I could only muster 15 as well because it was so terribly windy.

Today I was able to ride down to Old Town and back for an even 20 miles.

That makes 338 miles on the year so far. Nothing special, but way better than this time last year.

Thursday ride

I rode 26 miles yesterday, most of them down at Haines Point. The laps were at a fast pace as I rode a few with the big group and then two with Tom. Feeling it a little today...
