Thanks
Thanks
By the way, I was down there last night, too. It was sort of weird/confusing how the Park Service had half of the point closed off, altering the loop up Ohio Dr. and the Tidal Basin...

Yeah I hate when they put out those sprinklers. I guess we haven't had enough rain to feed the grass.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays a bunch of cyclists meet up and cycle in a large group (between 15 to 25 riders). They gather up and maintain an easy pace then slowly increase in speed. When the group makes that large turn near the large Awakening Sculpture, things speed up and a mile later things go totally nuts and people start sprinting towards the stop sign at speeds easily over 30 MPH.
It's really fun if you are a moderately strong rider.
