Bicycling (Road) 1:13:07 [3] 23.7 mi (3:05 / mi)
From Bowie, Quill Point Dr. Prospect Hill Rd. to Bell Station Rd. to the WB&A Trail through the old hospital to Rte. 193, to Lotsford Vista Rd., to Mount Oak Rd., to Mitchellville Rd. to Queen Anne's Bridge Rd. to Mitchellville Rd. to Rte. 197, to Old Chapel Rd. to Highbridge Rd. to Fletchertown Rd. to Quetzal Rd. I felt very tired through most of the ride and especially at the beginning. My legs were like lead. The first +7 miles were hot & humid, interrupted w/stop lights, hilly and with a headwind. I only averaged 17mph through it. After hitting stretches w/less stop & go, I picked-up the cadence. Without the headwind, I started scooting, averaging close to 22 mph for a smooth segment of several gradually uphill miles. With hills at the end again, the total avg. was only 19.5mph. This is a far cry from years past when I rode more.
