I broke out the shorts yesterday -- that felt great! A friend of mine who lives in Columbia wanted to ride the IronGirl bike route, so we met up at her place, which is about 3 miles from the route. I'd never done it before, that's a pretty ride, and evidently very popular with local cyclists. I rarely ride in Howard County, so it was nice to try something new.

I need to do some measuring at my new place to figure out what I'm taking from the old one, so my plan is to ride over there (I think it's about 15 miles), do what I need to do, and if I have time, maybe do a loop at the airport on the way home. I had been assuming that the B&A and BWI trails were still snowy/icy, but we were on some very shaded bike paths in Columbia yesterday, and they were mostly clear.
