Fifty Degrees!!! (well... almost)

Rode up the west side today. Got in line behind a cyclist who, along with riding at a good clip, had the bonus feature of a bell on his bike. Made riding through the few pedestrians present on the path much easier. Pedaled all the way up to the GWB, which from my new apartment is MUCH closer. :)

Ended up with an hour worth of pavement under my wheels at an average of 13mph. Tried to keep the cadence at 88 or better, that went well. Strong headwind on the way home, but the temperature outside was totally pleasant and there were no pesky crosswinds to knock me out.

Lovely ride. Can't wait until the roads dry up!

Time: 1:03
Distance: 13.27
Avg Pace: 12.6
Best mph: 21.8

** bonus features: Good hill climb at the middle and end of the ride, plus a flight of stairs to finish the workout! Haha. Getting much better at hauling my 19lb ride up and down.
