Weather: another gorgeous Spring-like day. Temps in the low 60s at the start rising to 72 by 1:30, with a claimed 78 degrees in the sun and out of the wind at the second rest stop at Nanjemoy Community Center. Thin high clouds with a lower layer of marshmallow & cotton puff clouds with blue skies, bright warm-feeling sun and a brisk breeze made for a magnificent day for riding.
