From Northfield Rd., to Moorland Ln., to Glenwood Rd., to Old Georgetown Rd., to Kingswood Rd., to Hurst St., to Grosvenor Rd., to Beach Dr., to Broadbranch Rd., NW, to Ridge Rd. NW, to Military Rd., NW, to 27th St., NW/Utah Ave., NW, to Tennyson St., NW, to Summerfield Rd., NW, to Oxford St. NW, to Brookeville Rd., to Bradley Blvd., to Glenbrook Rd., to Wilson Ln., to Custer Rd., to Northfield Rd. It was in the upper 80s F. and it felt more humid than it has been. I was feeling worn-out so I felt like I rode a little slower. Some apparently older but fit men passed me. I wasn't getting over feeling tired, 6 miles into the ride and I thought of shortening the ride. After crossing into DC, +8 miles into the ride, things got better. I got passed by a couple when I was going uphill, but I passed them afterward and pulled ahead passing other riders too. Perhaps the valley was more sheltered from winds that were coming from the south. I didn't look forward to the climb out of the valley but it turned out that I rode it better than I have been doing. That kept up all the way home with the wind mostly coming from behind me.
