Living it up in the Nation's Capital
As I have been cycling, I have discovered that the temperature makes a difference. When it is hot, especially humid, it seems to be harder to pedal. Now that I am 30, perhaps my old joints mind the humidity ;P
15 min and 45 seconds, 5.21 miles, 19.3 avg mph, 31.9 max mph.
Granted it was downhill most of the way, but I am pretty happy that I averaged close to 20 mph!
A friend at GU had a great idea and I was able to get the following email address. Not sure I will use it as it does not have POP or IMAP access and forwarding costs money from Mail.com.
firstname.lastname@myself.com
Gmail would have been the best and email.com as a backup, but they are both taken 🙁
Some stats for today…
From Georgetown U to World Market in Friendship Heights 16:52, 4.0 mi, 14.2 avg mph, 28.0 max.
From World Market Home 17:24, 5.24 mi, 18.1 avg mph, 29.1 max.
So I have gone from 18+ minutes to 13:01 on my way to GU in the morning. Wanted to give an update on my commute and joy of bike riding…
My Cateye computer has a setting to count stats only when moving…so here are some from recent trips home from World Market. While it is mostly a down hill ride, there is a bit of uphill on Wisconsin before the descent on Mass Ave 🙂
