What a day! Gorgeous out. Beautiful. Will picked me up and we drove a loooong way to Olney, MD, and did a great, tough, hilly 1-hour ride, mostly in a farm-like setting/residential area. It's funny how you are so exhausted when you're going uphill on a bike (or running) and you think "man, we should've picked a flatter route", but then you get to the top, or finish your ride, and it feels so good! In the afternoon I ran on the trails of Rock Creek Park for a bit less than 1 hour. Nice and shady. Lots of people out.

Oh Olney is not THAT far away! Do you know the names of any of the roads you biked on? I'm actually from Olney and I didn't think there were any decent places to get a ride in.

Hahaha! Not a long way, you're right, but on DC traffic (I live on Capitol Hill) it was painful!

We rode near Brookeville, Brighton Dam Rd., a little on New Hampshire... I guess it's not technically Olney? But most people on the blog are from Utah and don't know what we're talking about anyway :)
