Good Morning!

Who biked to work today?

This is my 3rd BTWD and by far the best so far: 2007 was cold and 2008 was rainy but today was great, if a bit humid. Since I knew I'd be having breakfast at the rally point I was able to get out of the house an hour earlier than usual. I discovered that it's so much nicer biking in at 6:20 than it is at 7:20; quieter, with less traffic. I think my future commutes will include breakfast here near work!

Our rally point was sponsored by Bob's Bikes of Poolesville. I mentioned that we've biked past on the Peachtree Loop (I think) and he pointed out that he gives out free water and has a clean bathroom available. He was demo'ing electric-assist bikes, one by Ohm and one by Giant and I got to try both. It's a strange feeling.

Swag: water bottle, BTWD socks, T-shirt, funky pen, MD bike map; found a picture they took of me last year and got to take it with me.
