From Northfield Rd., Bethesda, MD. to 13th & C St. SW, Washington, D.C. The weather felt nice starting out and I escaped the traffic around Bethesda without much slowing down. The winds were calm. There was a steady stream of cyclists to swim through the whole way to Georgetown. I faded after Georgetown. After joining up with the trail coming off 14th St. there good numbers of cyclists again. I finally weighed in under 189 lbs. but was probably still dehydrated. Skipping meals once in a while helps.

From 13th & C St. SW, Washington, D.C. to Northfield Rd., Bethesda, MD. When I got to my bike after work, I found a flat front tire. I couldn't patch it--seemed like a slow leak but I couldn't detect where. It was nice having the community pump in the bike rack area. Once I got going I felt headwinds getting to Georgetown. Even with some traffic and having to stop to pickup tools from my open seat pack, I got out of Georgetown in a pretty good time. From there I decided to take it easier. I cruised along and there were plenty of riders on the trail to pass.
