Hains Pt New Year's Day ride

Aww, Regina! It's supposed to be deadly cold on Wednesday & Thursday, so if there's no rain tomorrow, you should try to get a ride in.

Well, I did get a ride in - 35 miles through Rock Creek Park.
Did you do the point???

Not to the Point, but I rode this morning. Thankfully, I got a ride in before the wind started cranking and everyone woke up from their Monday nite celebrating. Kept expecting it to rain but we lucked out.

Was Rock Creek Park crowded w/the "New Year's Resolution" crowd?

Amazingly, no.
I came down Beach Dr. from Garrett Park, into D.C. and I saw only 4 other cyclists by the time I hit East West Highway in Silver Spring. There were more by the time I got into the District, but not many at all (by weekend standards). Lots of dog walkers (one terrier lunged at me...fortunately, his owner had a tight grip on the leash!), a very few runners. Pretty quiet. Nice, actually.

Maybe everyone was still sleeping it off or riding at Hains Pt? That must have been very nice, aside from the terrier, of course.
