I had intended to ride 40 miles today and I hit my goal. Instead of doing it on country roads, I was able to ride into Arlington and meet my good friend Lawrence Ong. Lawrence is about to retire and reset his life again. It was good to catch-up. We split a nice white pizza at Pupatella on Wilson Blvd., It was nice to cruise through my old haunting grounds. Arlington has a lot going for it. People were out in force enjoying the nice day. Riding the trails meant keeping my pace moderate. That was good. I was having trouble pacing. The winds hitting me from multiple directions had some to do with that. I rode several miles with an older guy who was perhaps catching-up to me as I got on the W&OD Trail. I pulled ahead some but with stops for traffic lights and there being little room to pass, we kept going together. Along the waterfront and volleyball courts in DC, there was trail construction. A new tunnel was being put into the Roosevelt Bridge for the trail--I didn't know they could do that to such an old bridge. Finishing-up on my old commute route was nice and somewhat gentle for the slopes (RR grade CCT). My GPS timing got messed-up at traffic lights. My time is an estimate but I measured out the distance with GMaps Pedometer. Even after drinking water when I finished, my weight was 203.6 lbs.
