Since they closed the pool for three weeks, I'm taking a very long ride after work. My regular 5mi roundtrip commute just isn't enough exercise. Actually, since they closed the pool, I may go completely carless all week.

I'll be taking off from Annapolis and going over the B&A trail simply because I don't know other routes around here that go for 17 miles. I've been looking forward to it all day.

I just ordered the ADC Bicycle Map for the DC area. I really hope it is worth it.

I'm also very excited as my boyfriend just bought a bike on Saturday and he seems to be as excited about cycling as I am. He's even talking about trying to ride into DC to work from Alexandria. If he can do that (and I'm going to make him do it on a weekend if he doesn't do it during the week), then I can start working on him to commute by bike. Wish me luck!!!
