Bicycling (Commute) 35:45 [3] 11.27 mi (3:10 / mi)
slept:7.0 (sick)
A nice 76F morning it was. I started well, averaging 20.2 mph up to Georgetown but a little slower in the city parts. I was glad to get on the saddle again. Weight 177.
Bicycling (Commute) 35:58 [4] 10.52 mi (3:25 / mi)
(sick)
Return from Independence Ave. in DC to Woodmont Ave. in Bethesda, MD. I got off to a quick start and picked it up after leaving Georgetown doing +20 mph on the flats. I passed several bikers (some on mountain bikes) and had some of them fall-in behind me. I figured neither they nor I had advantage since I carried weight in some not so aerodynamic panniers. I pulled them all for 2.5 miles up the hill at about 17mph to the water treatment bridge where the last still there thanked me and waited for those that dropped off. Headwinds, the rest of the hill, traffic and fatigue slowed me after that but this was still my fastest return yet by a few minutes.
