Today I rode the Eisenhower Valley Trail. You can get there by taking the Mount Vernon Trail and making a right at the sign once you go through Old Town just before the end of the street. No worries there's a sign that will point you in the right direction. The ride was quick and pleasant as DC has been hit with an unusual spell of great weather for this time of year. It was about 83 degrees so I took my time and enjoy all that nature had to offer. There are not many hills along this trail so it's pretty much a straight shot and there are a lot of photo ops so be sure to bring your phone or carry a camera, there's no telling what you may see along the way. I finished my day by visiting a friend downtown and talking for about 2 hours, it was the perfect way to wind down from my ride and my day.
As you can see, I only have 10 days left to meet my goal and I think I just might surpass my expectations. I have about 10-15 pounds to go and I'm sure I'll get there. Earlier this week I was feeling a bit lethargic and started to get down on myself for being so tired and taking days off. Once I did my totals for the week I can clearly see why I was. After logging almost 200 miles in the last 9 days and more than 600 in the last 20 days, I'm thankful just to be able to stand up! Enough talk, time to go for another ride…
