Phoenix Bikes Ride (23-04)

What a wonderful ride today in spite of the threats of cold winter riding . . . because it never materialized. Or didn't seem to. So I was over-dressed! It was so warm, no one wanted to sit inside at our snack break at Blue Bottle Coffee (over looking the C&O Canal!). This was the "Monuments" ride and I was supposed to ride sweep, but the trip leader had to bail so I became, by default, the new leader . . . with no support. But then, surprise surprise, Gita (one of the Board members) and a friend of hers visiting from Boise (Bill) joined so we had a good crew and a good time. Besides Georgetown and the C&O Canal, we hit the Georgetown Waterfront, the Watergate, the Kennedy Center, The Lincoln Memorial, The Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the WWII Memorial, DC's WWI Memorial, the Korean Was Memorial, Memorial Bridge, Arlington National Cemetery, and the Iwo Jima Memorial (USMC). Whew! Then it was back to Phoenix Bikes along local trails and streets including the descent on 16th Street S. Boy, after ll the "climbing," the kids were ready for that one!
