It wasn't raining in Fort Washington but the roads were wet early Saturday morning so I delayed the ride by 1 hour, starting at 11:00 instead of 10:00. Three people braved the wet roads with me on this ride - Benny Budd, Joni King, and Michael Blaine. We had a good ride in spite of the wet roads, even enjoying the peeks of sunshine along with the wind. A large bird joined us briefly (a buzzard?) when it took off from the right side of the road, right next to Mike...it was close enough to see the pattern of it's brown feathers!! We ended with a 17.0 ams.
