From: Fairfax, VA commuting to Washington DC
Bikes: 2010 Kona Dew Drop (the daily driver),'07 Specialized Roubaix (the sports car), '99 ish Kona NuNu MTB (the SUV), Schwinn High Plains (circa 1992?) (the beater)
A fine commute this morning. I rode despite the weather pundits' predictions of violent thunderstorms. I might regret it this afternoon, but c'est la vie. Did any of the other DC folks see the two unsaddled (presumably park police) horses grazing in the field near the Lincoln Memorial (adjacent to the Independence Avenue side of the erstwhile reflecting pool)? That was definitely a sight I've not seen before.
Oh, and for those of you who enjoy geekery: This is the summary of my ride from MyTracks this morning.

Apparently I caught the draft of some experimental low-flying aircraft for a round trip to Dallas, at a little over Mach 10 (presuming near sea level).
