Biking and beer!The weather cleared up today and a friend asked if I wanted to go riding with her on the W&OD Trail. It was about a 10 mile ride each way.
And at the halfway mark, was the Vienna Inn (pictured).
It's a quarter block off the bike path -- and a genuine biker bar. As in "bicyclist" bar.
No leather. Lots of lycra. We bailed though when the in-line skater gang showed up. Looked like trouble brewing.
Thing is, while we drank beer, the weather turned. A cold front passed through. It was an easy 10 degrees colder when we stepped out of the bar.
Hell, it was a good 10 degrees colder than the Rolling Rocks we'd just had!
And we were running out of daylight. It'd been in the mid-50s when we set out at 4:30 that afternoon. By the time we got back to Arlington, the temperature had dropped to 39 degrees.
Glad for the Under Armor.
So.
We worked a 20 mile ride around three beers each. Not bad. Not really sure that counts toward training. But it was fun.
