Did this ride solo becuase the PPTC ride from Glen Echo was too damn early. Another factor taken into consideration: it was in the upper 50s by mid-afternoon, rather than the upper 30s, as it was at 9:00 am. Yet another factor: I didn’t want to miss the Dupont Freshfarm Market.

But the ride was good. I essentially traced the PPTC ride route from the Tuesday nigth rides that take place in the summer months. My energy level was better than last week: the hills were easier, my cadence was a little faster, there were fewer aches from over-compensating for my shoulder. All told, it was the best ride in terms of overall quality since the accident. The roads were full of cyclists, taking advantage of a nice day.
