Broke a spoke on the rear wheel w/in two blocks of home last night, so first thing this AM was to replace the spoke with a spare I had lying around. Got that done and cleaned up cassette while I had it off.

Nice ride in. Took an alternate route in through Potomac Yard, Crystal City, past the Pentagon and over Memorial Bridge instead of on MVT. Nice to
change things up a bit.

Took advantage of a free pizza offer for Car Free Day pledgers for lunch so had a nice 3.5 mile round trip up to Dupont Circle.

It's muggy today but not too bad. Reminds me of what "cool' mornings felt like a month and a half ago.

Hoping rain's not too heavy tonight. I have class til 9:30 and bike has no indoor parking space at grad school. I have a plastic bag to cover my Brooks saddle, but still...
