What's with this Mid Atl. weather. I left and it was raining, I return to much the same.
Hope y'all had a great ride to DC yesterday. Did you get caught in Beltsville's HUGE rainstorm around 3:30(much more than Baltimore's)? Apparently it dropped many inches of water in less than a 1/2 hour. squish, squish squish for this morning commute.
I'm jealous. I need to get out to Zion, Bryce, etc. I have a set of Adventure Cycling maps for that area.
I did 130 for Sun_Mon which is pretty good for me, considering my time restraints. Did the 35 mile downtown coffee run Sunday morn then up to the NCR that afternoon to meet friend Bennett who was doing a loop from Arlington-Chambersburg-Balt-Annapolis. Then accompanied him to Annapolis on Monday, made some wrong turns getting south of Baltimore, yuck. I took the lightrail from Cromwell to Mt. Royal on the return because I got no love for that southern approach to Bmore, though I know some of you do.
I hit the rain in Roland Park-felt great.
