A cloudy, chilly day with a few cold feet, but our "Gang of Four" had a terrific ride on the Mason Neck Peninsula.
Riders: Jessica H, Ron A, Lisa O, Dave VanA
Team Balaclava, well layered, started at the parking area next to Gunston ES. We rode the OH route, starting with the out-n-back to the water, following the trail, and going to the Virginia Mason Neck park for a quick break.
We headed on the usual route, unencumbered by cars (almost none!) or other cyclists (none!). The sun was not out but the wind was pretty manageable.
Other quick stops for hydration, music arrangement, and glove management.
