30 Mile Ride

Today the weather was typical, I guess, for February in DC. The temperature this afternoon when I rode was about 45, and it was a hazy sun when I started, and clouded over completely as I rode.

Laps at Hains Point, the whole distance was a nice 30 miles. I broke the 100 mile mark on the odometer, so I can take the bike in for free servicing. I need a longer stem for the handlebars, and the seat maybe raised a little.

The ride itself was good. I probably averaged around 18 or 19 mph. There was little wind, maybe slightly from the north and west. I had a water bottle with me for the first time, and drank almost the whole thing. I was faster than everyone else riding today, except one guy passed me as I left the course to head back home. He was fast, probably going 20 or more.
