Slow ride today. Weather was just about perfect - ~50F and warming. Traffic was also just about perfect - -if you want to paint a still life. I had to do more weaving in and out between the cars (to avoid the big trucks next to the concrete abutments and the like) than I like, and that slowed down what is usually a fast downhill. Then there was a fishing tournament!?! blocking a portion of the towpath, causing a minor detour and some angst as I worried about being hooked by some casting angler.
The rest of the slowdown might have been tied to light timing, but I suspect I also wasn't pushing. I plan to ride the long way home this evening :-)
