The weather, as of late, has completely sucked. Today it's around 50 and it hasn't stopped raining for the last 24 hours. Saturday was pretty nice, and I knew that the prospect of biking on Sunday was iffy, so I went for a ride after riding Noble-the-lease-horse. Needless to say… I think someone went and filled my legs with lead while I was sleeping, because I could hardly get them to move. Not sure if it was the effect of having ridden Noble about an hour prior, but I wasn't feeling my best and wanted to keep it short… so around 16 miles. Still, having not ridden on Friday (rain) made me feel kind of weak.

On the upside, I averaged around 14.5 mph on despite the hilly route. Not sure if that's a result of me being fitter (probably not), or having switched my tires to 700×23s instead of the 25s that were previously on (more likely). I was a little nervous doing that as I thought it might make the bike too squirrely, especially on uneven terrain. Fortunately, they held up much better than I thought. The wider/more resilient 25s were definitely an asset when I rode through DC — land of potholes, sand, and broken glass — so it'd be interesting to see if I manage to get a flat on these new guys.

I do have a route map from Saturday's ride, but I'm already behind on work and need to get that finished.
