Weather: Cloudy, some sun and spritzy rain
AMS: 11 mph
Mechanicals/Mishaps:
Report: We had a easy ride at a conversational pace for nearly 40 miles and about 1400 feet of climb. Fort Belvoir provides a clean, polite biking environment and welcome break during an urban/suburban ride. The route emphasized longer straightaways and avoided most of the loops that characterize rides on this side of the river.
We also took time to explore options for improving the route. Thanks to Ron, Steve, and Rudy for your ideas.
