Mt. Vernon Bike Trail

We began today by going off to Spokes, etc. to go ride with Carsten and some other local people. The guys at Spokes were great - one Spokesman led us out on the Mt. Vernon Bike Trail. We pedaled along at a fairly decent pace, letting Carsten and his dad lead the pack. The trail has a great view of the Potomac, and we went out to a bend right by the airport. After that, we turned around and headed back. After thanking everyone for coming - and getting Carsten to sell them what we didn't raffle off the day before - we grabbed a quick lunch and got directions to Baltimore. We went back up the Mt. Vernon Bike Trail into the city and rode around to meet up with the chase car. Finally, we finished up riding, threw the bikes up on top of the car, and drove up to New Jersey for the 4th. In a few days, we'll be back on the road.
