Cold with steady rain this morning. To compound my misery, there was a pretty persisitant wind from the east to slow me down to a 14 mph average. In addition to that my apt's hot water was out so I couldn't even take my usual shower which helps me warm/wake up (just used extra body spray when I got in). All in all I still feel really good after having ridden this morning. On the plus side, the predicted afternoon rain should keep the tourist to a minimum (they really slow me down around the Tidal Basin).
