Beautiful commute today; I took the advice of a fellow cyclist I met at work yesterday and took the Rock Creek parkway from the Watergate to Fort McNair. Other than missing the detour for Ohio Dr. around the construction and therefore getting totally lost and having to backtrack around the Lincoln, it was just great. Sunny, not too hot, very few cars and loads of cyclists. And just about zero stoplights! The best thing about the new route is that it's twice the distance but takes two-thirds of the time, due to the lack of traffic/stoplights/worries about getting doored on 17th.
