A quick out-and-back ride that I shoehorned between the farm market and a movie gala this afternoon. I was racing home with a storm front, just keeping in front of the rain. I stopped at Gravelly Point (National Airport) and did some deep stretching while I watched airplanes land for 12 minutes. From National Airport to the Teddy Roosevelt Island carpark, I averaged 22.7 mph. – not bad for a rider who needs to get in better shape.
