From Rosedale Ave.; Bethesda, MD, to C St. SW, Washington, D.C. I started fairly slow and left a little late. It was much cooler than it has been. Very shortly after dropping off Max, I got passed by two older men--they had momentum going up a hill that I was getting going on. One stopped but one kept going after Bethesda Ave. I drafted off of him until River Rd. where I unintentionally dropped him on the bridge climb. After that there was a fairly steady flow of people and some walkers tto pass. There were mixed winds but nice tailwinds along Ohio Dr.

From C. St. SW; Washington, D.C. to Rosedale Ave.; Bethesda, MD. Enjoying the cooler weather, I still had to face headwinds beyond Georgetown. As in the morning, I steadily passed people--I felt pretty good. However, I got caught by a roadie doing 19-20mph up the grade. I latched on for a good way but broke contact as he got past some slower riders and I didn't due to oncoming traffic. By then there were a few more to draft off of and to pull. I stopped for Chipotle before going to the day care for Max's trailer and before going home.
