Sadly I would be riding solo because Alex was recovering from the flu. Things started out well, but about 10 miles out, the road lost its shoulder and I had two instances where I could feel the wind from the SUVs. Without a specific plan, I headed back to the city and decided to head out to Mt. Vernon and then piece the rest together to get to 65.
My first stop was to the Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens, one of the few places I still have not visited. It was still pretty overcast, and not too many things were out in bloom so I will have to stop by when I go back in a few weeks.
I would have stayed longer, but it was getting cold walking around and this goose chased me away so I took it as a sign
Then over to the National Mall to stop by the I. M. Pei pyramids outside the East Wing of the National Gallery. For those of you who have not been to DC and/or on a Bike and Roll tour, these were a practice job before the Louvre got theirs.
