53.4 mile ride around a weird track. Started out heading up through Green Valley and into Ivans. It was so bloody hot I could barely ride. 89F when I left the house at 3:50 a.m. Plus there was a choppy breeze that felt like a blow dryer in my face. So the first 20 miles were hellishly slow. I wanted to get off and hitch hike home, but there wasn't anyone out to ride with. Ended with a 19.5 mph avg. Road Luke's Look bike and it didn't help the speed either. 10.2 mile run around the DC after the ride. Got er done.
