After the ride I passed lots of people while walking through Reston Town Center without realizing the I had at least 15 dead gnats stuck all over my face. Amazingly, no one pointed and laughed.
haha ... i know exactly what you mean about the gnats on the W&OD. I've been swallowing way too many this past week. One just about choked me Friday night as I was riding to Leesburg then back to Reston.
That headwind today was pretty strong. I rode, again to Leesburg but knew that the ride home would be SWEET, and it was. I rode into Reston Town Center and stopped in at my favorite place for a well deserved treat, Yogen Fruz. Let's meet and ride north sometime.
