70 miles. Temp. 83. Average speed 13.8.
Tom H (pictured here), who lives in Laurel MD and is going on the tour, rode with me. We departed from Rt. 28 at W&OD Trail head 11 am. Did Lovettsville circuit. Great having company on ride. It got pretty warm today and a headwind on the 15 mile leg from Lovettsville to Purcellville made it a challenge. Plus having ridden 70 and 50 miles the previous days made it a good workout. We observed a number of Virginia Tech banners in the "horsey" country - see photos below. This ride follows by a week the sad events that occurred there.
Got some sunburn despite using sun screen. Tom's computer showed a half more mile of distance than mine and a consequently a higher average speed -14.2. I'd like to believe his computer is correct and that I've been going closer to the speed of light than my faulty computer indicates. Note: Click photos to enlarge them!
