Oh divingbiker, what a fun ride! We did something like that once through an organized tour (I think the outfit was Bike the Sites or something like that). Biking is such a great way to hit all those memorials and monuments, walking them all just takes so much more time.

I did a 55 mile ride in Utah County this morning with the BBTC club, it was part of the ULCER route. I had never biked that area, and it was beautiful! We went to the lake, and rode through lots of farm land. Hardly any traffic. The average pace was 15.4, that's a pretty high pace for me to maintain over that long of a ride, so I felt really good about it. We only stopped 3 times (2 breaks and 1 flat repair). I'm glad I wore my Camelback, I don't like wearing that thing but I do drink more when I do.
