Warm (40's) this morning with clear skies and a beautiful sunrise over the city. I left about 45 minutes late and attempted to make up the time by averaging about 18 mph. I was pumped and a little sweaty after 7 miles of that. I was also surprised to see only two other riders on the trail, probably because of the holidays. The ride home looks promising, last I heard the weather guys are predicting highs of mid-50's to 60 this afternoon.
