DC was a beautiful ride in this morning. I took the last few days off because the last distance ride I went on killed me. Finally felt strong enough to tackle a ride into work - part of me knew that it was time to take the bike out!

Played some bike polo with a crew out in DC - wiped out twice but no sever bruises to complain about - have to start learning how to handle my bike instead of just ride fast and in a straight line. The ride home at 10pm is great - no headwind! Even the potomac was still. It was so good that I even got a chance to practice no hands for a a while! Great day for a commute.
