From Northfield Rd., Bethesda, MD, to Arlington Rd. with Max, then to 12th and C St. SW, Washington, D.C. It was around 50 F. I started more easily but once again hit the Capital Crescent Trail when a fast rider had just gotten on also. I initially led but my legs were too tired to do much better than 21-22mph on the downgrade. The other cyclist took over and we were doing 23-24mph mostly. As we passed, we picked-up another guy who rode behind me. I took another go at pulling at Fletcher's Boathouse but it didn't last long. At Georgetown, the faster rider backed off and I went ahead more slowly. There seemed to be an angled tailwind along the water and Ohio Dr. I took it much easier the last half mile.

From 12th & C St. SW, Washington, D.C. to Arlington Rd., where I picked-up Max's bicycle, then to Northfield Rd., Bethesda, MD. I was tired and took it easier almost from the start. It felt cool in my shorts and t-shirt. There were once again lots of walkers and runners getting to Georgetown. I mostly rode by myself but passed a bunch on the trail. Though I slowed down, doing so didn't make it easier.
