Winter seems to have retreated (for now), now anything in the 40's and 50's feels warm after having adjusted to the cold. Nice, warm ride in on wet streets, fortunately no rain yet in the DC Metro--hopefully that holds for the ride home. I felt good but was up since 4 am, which actually worked out well since I had to be in early today. The ride was uneventful and quiet, I saw only a couple of runners on Mount Vernon Ave. and only one other rider on the trail. I concentrated on spinning this morning, it was nice to be able to maintain some speed. I heard something about the return of Winter but I don't want to aknowledge it.
