Best spring day yet, so I went for a morning pootle. Wish I had pictures, but I don't have a good camera. Took the bus to the Pentagon - my first try at using the bike racks on the bus. The Tokyo fits but the securing bar works best on the downtube, not the wheel as with full size bikes. Took the trail that goes up to the Memorial Bridge and Arlington Cemetery. Wow - I passed a full size bike for the first time. Went past the Netherlands Carillion and Marine Corps memorial to Rosslyn - this was a test of a possible commuting route - I work in Rosslyn. Then I tried the Rt. 50 trail - this is mostly service roads and parallel streets until after 10th St. - very unsatisfactory. Went down Fillmore to Walter Reed to the Four Mile Run trail to Shirlington. I wouldn't want to ride up the hill on Walter Reed, but down was FUN. Had a rest and a smoothy at Robeks, then rode home. All in all about 12 miles in perfect weather.
