I met at the LBS with several other local TE'ers and we did a nice loop through D.C.'s Rock Creek Park, out to Garret Park. Was a beautiful day - cool, but not freezing, and warmed up to darn blamy. Tomorrow should be even warmer - although seeing my daffodils poking their heads above the soil is making me nervous.
Got in 29.5 miles in 1:56:00, for an average of 15.2 mph - roughtly 1,000 ft. of climbing. And....shock of all shocks...my herniated disc in my neck did not cause me great pain after the ride. Yay! Traction seems to be working!
