Cool. Really cool, bordering on cold-probably high 40's in Alexandria. While I thought to wear a long sleeve jersery, I should have put on full finger gloves and a skull cap. I managed to warm up to a comfortable level by the halfway point so, it wasn't too bad. The ride home looks to be terrific, it's about 60F out there right now. I also had a close call this morning. While turning left from Maine avenue to 6th street (in the turn lane, with a green), I mis-judged the speed of an oncoming car. I think the guy was really accelerating as he closed on me much faster than I thought he should have, even given some degree of error in the dark conditions. I guess I was already in the midst of this cross-traffic turn and felt comitted so, I stepped on it. Luckily, I had just geared down a little, allowing a little more acceleration, and got out of the way. He didn't slow, swerve, honk, flash his lights....anything. I was kinda pissed and might have confronted him if given the opportunity. I rode the rest of the way in a little shaken, it was too close (and, too fast) for comfort. I should have just stopped and yielded to him. Luckily nothing happened. Lesson learned.
