Nice ride in this morning; cool, only a slight hint that it had rained overnight, and, although I left a little late, I made up the time and arrived at the same time. It was the ride home that was so great though. Beautiful, sunny, a following wind, and temps in the mid 60's. I stopped near home to watch hunting Osprey on the Potomac, near the power plant, then took a leisurely ride around Old Town stopping at 5 Guys for a burger. I had been craving one all day, but just couldn't justify it as I've been starting to trim down for summer. So I compromised, bacon double cheeseburger, but no fries (I know....). Stuffed it in my backpack and ate it at home with pepperoncinis and a Pale Ale from from my favorite Pennsylvania microbrewery, then, a long nap on the couch--it was heaven... I've never thought of beer as a refreshing, post-ride treat. Usually it's water, Gatorade, maybe cold milk, but today that really hit the spot. Getting ready to top off my tires for tomorrow's ride. Although this week's been a bit of a struggle, I'm going for the all ride week (my commuting friend will owe me dinner if I make it-that's how we motivate eachother).
