On the Road Again

After rain and a week of bad medicine -- I hit the trail again today. Worked out some stiffness and got back on track.

I rode from the office to Roosevelt Island -- in the Potomac right off Georgetown. Great views of the monuments and bridges and all the DC skyline. That's the Lincoln Memorial through my spokes.

Rain disrupted my schedule for most of a week. Then I had a bout of dizziness my doc linked to Lipitor. He'd put me on the stuff April 4. I couldn't balance on my bike -- and missed a week of the best weather since last fall!

But, after quitting the meds and waiting for the sky to clear -- I returned for a 17 mile ride from the office to Roosevelt Island and back. Oh, yeah -- with a stop at Indigo Landing for a couple of beers with co-workers.

Averaged about 12 mph for the ride. Can't seem to break that average.

Trying the same ride tomorrow!
