It was ok except for a wicked headwind (although you'd think I'd be used to it by now) and a slight chill. I've discovered a way to add a couple of miles to my ride in. I simply bypass the 14th St. bridge and continue on the MV Trail crossing at the Memorial Bridge. I then turn right at the Lincoln Mem. and continue down through East Potomac Park. It eventually intersects with the bike trail on the DC side of the bridge and I continue in as usual. I'd been looking for a way to up my mileage for training purposes and this probably adds 2 to 3 miles, although without a computer on the bike I can't be sure. It only took me three years to figure that out, I wonder what revalations I'll have in another 3.
