50 miles or so on the bike with some folks from my new cycling group. Al (on the left) had mechanical problems and had to head home after only 14 miles. Fortunately the DC Metro was available, so he had a way back home. Amy (on the right) had a holiday bbq to attend and bailed out early too, so I finished solo. It was a beautiful day in DC. Warm, but only partly sunny, so the heat wasn't a problem. I hooked up with a guy named Paul for the last 10 miles or so and we were burning up the road. Found out later that he was a longtime cyclist and IM Kona finisher, so no wonder! These guys should wear a sign or something so we poor weekend warriors don't get suckered into the chase.<br><br><img alt="" src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y166/radial01/RockCreekTrailCrew.gif" style="border:0px solid;">
