Took yesterday off (from work, not just commuting). Back at it today. Getting settled in for a hot week. Today's 96 degrees is supposed to be one of the cooler this week. 99 and 100 for temps by week's end.

Ride in this AM was good. Fellow commuter came alongside on them MUP, and after exchanging greetings, he pointed to the slow bumper to bumper traffic on the GW Pkwy, saying "This sure beats that." He couldn't have been more right. At 16 mph avg on the trail, I think I was making better time than the cars doing their stop and go thing.

All this heat just in time for my weekend overnighter. Gonna be a scorcher!
