There is something just wrong about scraping ice off your windshield to go ride a bicycle.
(I rode from home, but if you saw my driveway you'd know why I drive to the end of it and park by the mailbox.)
First ride in almost three weeks, and it'd been two weeks the time before that. Family obligations, travel, early sunsets, weather. Plus my legs were still sore from my run on Tuesday. So I was dog slow. But it was a nice day, some fall color still left, wool kept me warm45 miles.

Well I wore sleeveless today and don't live in the southern hemisphere!
24.17 miles, got to go get ready for a wedding now. Darn, the weather is perfect for more miles- 78 degrees and no wind.

It's windy up there in Los Osos? I'm in Santa Maria and there is only a slight breeze. It's a great day for a ride, I got mine in this morning.

It got a little chilly here in St. Louis. Didn't ride but sold many cold weather pieces - wool socks, full finger gloves, and liners were the hit.

The TE-DC contingent (MDHillSlug, Kalidurga, Regina, and I) got together for our second DC Monument Tour this morning, on the occasion of Livin the Dream's visit to our nation's capitol from her home in Ohio. We met at the bike rental place near the Old Post Office Pavilion on a cold and windy morning.
We took a nice ride down Pennsylvania Avenue and stopped at the Victims of Communism memorial, then Union Station. We continued on (past many road barriers) to the Supreme Court, Capitol, Library of Congress, then down the mall past all the museums and the Washington Monument.
There were throngs of people on the mall for a charity walk, so we took some less-traveled paths past the World War II memorial to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Korean War Memorial.
Then we crossed the Potomac via the Memorial Bridge to Arlington National Cemetery to see the Iwo Jima Memorial and the Netherlands Carillon. We rode back over the bridge down to Hains Point to the Awakening statue, then back up to the Jefferson Memorial and across the Mall to the White House.
We finished up the ride with a delicious lunch at a Peruvian/Salvadoran restaurant. The tour was about 19 miles; 35 miles total including the ride into town and back home.
It was great to meet Livin the Dream, and we invite all of you to visit DC so we can do another tour!
No people pics this time, just scenery...
