Biking to Work: Week 8, Day 2

Okay, rode in on Wednesday but not today (Friday) because I had to be in Columbia this afternoon (yeah... I *wish* I meant the one in South America). I won't be hitting 3 times next week, either, because I'm taking Monday off. One of these weeks, though...

Anyhow, here is Wednesday's diary entry:

Weather: mid-70s and muggy going in, upper 80s and windy coming home.

Location: The tried and true route from Germantown to Bethesda and back.

Biking Companions: Jane.

Trail/Road conditions: Unless something changes, just remember that the neighborhood roads suck, traffic in Montgomery Co. is not friendly to bikers, and there's always *one* out there that's just stupid.
