Fun morning commute. A guy caught me when I was still in Maryland. We exchanged lead several times for several miles, over 40 blocks. We did not exchange words (I spoke briefly but he is either deaf or aloof). We did not work together. At one point I had a huge gap on him, later he had a huge gap on me. He's the guy in blue. I thought there were three riders behind me when I turned around to get this picture (Rhode Island and 16th NW) but I guess one rider turned left on 16th.


Evening rush hour. Lone rider on the Met Branch Trail over Rhode Island Avenue.
