First run of vacation. Warm and sunny. Did the Millstone Trails again. Added the loop through Roosevelt. Scout trails were great. My nature posts are still standing strong. Trails was a bit rough just after crossing Rochdale. The road run back was blah. Think I may double back on the trail and explore some other options to reduce the time on the road.
Legs have felt heavy and slow all week. Really struggled on the small uphills at the end. Planning to rest tomorrow.

Ride in. Easy ride until someone flew by me turning onto the Custis. We worked together until Rosslyn. Slowed down a bit after this. Served as a great interval.
Afternoon Isolated Storms turned into Morning isolated showers. Rained before and during the ride. Not too bad but had hoped the morning would be dry at least. Borderline MTB conditions.
With no rain since the morning commute and forecasts predicting storms to hold off until late at night it looked like it was going to be a dry ride home.
That was the case until I got to Falls Church, where it rained on me this morning. This time I got the full thunderstorm effect complete with downpour. At least I was through the technical section. Of course the rain let up as I packed up the bike.
It rained for a total of 45 minutes today. All while I was on my bike.
