Congratulations on the metric, Nicole!

I got up early and did a 50 mile ride before the stinkin' heat moved in. Since I'm on strike against driving to ride these days, I did a couple of up-and-back trips on the road by the creek, then into downtown Silver Spring, over to Takoma Park, along the creek trail to College Park, then up to Greenbelt and back home.

Now I've got to clean my muddy bike and pack it up for my 5-day tour; I leave on Friday, the ride starts the following Wednesday.
