Cycling 1:40:00 [4] 22.0 mi (4:33 / mi)
Riding to work with the First Friday ride crew. Organized by a woman in my building. Every month she starts from downtown DC and picks up anyone who can join along the way. My route joins at 38th St. and the NW Branch Trail, but it takes me 10 miles to get there, whereas it's only 3 for her. She publishes the route map and the times at the various checkpoints. I couldn't do it last month, but I was all in today. On the trail just after sunup, glad for the headlight. Got to the checkpoint a few minutes early, and the 3 of them showed up on time. We pushed pretty hard the rest of the way (harder than I have been going alone). The total time includes more than 5 minutes of waiting in various places. Great ride.
