Yesterday we had unseasonably warm weather here in DC -- 70 degrees and sunny with a light breeze. Glorious stuff. I went for a nice long ride, changing the normal route and heading out into Northern Virginia. (Normal route is often a ride from the Hill to Poolesville, MD.) It was great to have a change of scenery and terrain, and though there were a lot of people to avoid, I was able to hammer through some sections at 26-28 mph.

I also rode the TT bike, which I have been avoiding for a while (tight hips/glutes make the agressively forward position less comfy than a regular road geometry). Felt great--really speedy along the flats.

I did 50 or so miles with Laurel and Joe, and then did a few extra laps down at Hains Point to get the mileage up. 

After all this cold-weather riding it was really great to get a reminder of how fun it is to ride. No cold fingers or toes, no frozen water bottles. What a day! I can't wait for spring and consistent weather like this. It'll be hard to get me off the bike.
