Just about three weeks left until the bike ride starts! I’m getting everything together and training like crazy. I’ve been able to see DC in a completely new way thanks to this training. I rode to Annapolis on Saturday which was beautiful. The shoulder sort of disappeared in a couple of places on 214E which was nerve racking-but dinner on the waterfront was a great way to relax after the ride. I also rode up to Mt. Vernon yesterday along with approximately 40 million other riders who also thought bike riding on Memorial Day was a good idea. The Potomac river has never looked so inviting-especially after I had traveled beside it for a good 25 miles in the afternoon heat. When I made it to the top of Mt. Vernon I treated myself to a snack from their gift store. I ended up paying $9 for a powerade and a soft preztel. I’m definitely just bringing granola bars from now on! I’m searching for a route that involves some good hills because this area is very flat and the thought of the Rockies is making me nervous. Thank goodness for a 30 gear bike
