    Because of the fog and mist and wet roads, a pleasant and warmish commute.

    That makes absolutely no sense at all.

    Between the mist, the chill and the damp, my ride in was actually quite refreshing.

    It was one of those mornings, where I had to delay actually getting changed so I could sit on my work pants to warm them up enough to wear. The perils of bringing in frozen lunches and extra work clothes in the same pannier…

    There were far fewer out on the CCT than the previous day, when at least some riders appeared to be in discomfort from the cold. This tends to support the old trail commuter’s* adage that the number of people riding on the trail in the morning is an excellent predictor of yesterday’s weather.

    *That would be me.

    There were a ton more people – cyclists and runners – on my commute. That 50 degree forecast really got ’em out.

    Pleasant commute, although the legs felt like molasses this AM.

    I also saw quite a number of riders and runners out this AM. Even convoyed across IoD with another three (rarely happens to be that many, at least for me).

    A question: it was significantly warmer this AM than yesterday. Why did I feel so cold then? :confused:

    Anybody know why they didn’t finish the trail on the DC side of the NW Branch between Route 1 and 38th Street in Brentwood? They added this trail when they raised the levee for flood control, but wondering why they didn’t extend all the way to Route 1. I’ve been taking this side of the river because they’re doing utility work on the other side where the NW Branch trail goes through.

    They had to reserve that section for the grass-skiing community.

    More likely as I think about it they didn’t want to have to deal with state highway administration to cut the guard rail or something.

    I have a new adage. Generalizations are always a bad idea.

    I’ll file that one with “eschew obfuscation.”

    That would be like ten or fifteen, right? 2000 pounds.

    Indeed. Exactly 13.986 Vincenzo Nibalis or 15.625 Nairo Quintanas.
