I went south this past weekend to do some bike fits. I rented a studio suite at the Residence Inn in the Vienna area. I love Residence Inns! It was absolutely perfect for my Retul equipment. I moved a couch and I had a fit studio. I drove down on Thursday afternoon. I experimented with a different route, via PA and Rt 81 to 15 to 270. This was 100x better than I95. I hit one small patch of traffic. It was beautiful. I set up all my equipment on Thursday night, and I woke up Friday and started doing fits. I did fits until 8 PM, broke down my equipment, tied up some loose ends with emailing documents to clients, packed the car, and was asleep by 10:30. I woke up the next day and got down to Rock Creek Park by 6:30 for the 7 AM(ish) ride. I got to see some old and dear friends and got in a great workout as well! After the ride I got back in my car and drove home via 83 to 81. Easy.
I would do it again next weekend. Or the weekend afterward. I had 5 very fun bike fits. I think they all had a very positive experience. If I gain the interest again, I will make it happen.
CYCLOCROSS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER, NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME TO GET THE BIKE OUT, CLEAN THE MUD FROM NATS OFF OF IT, PUMP UP THE TIRES, AND GET A FIT!
The blogging hiatus - My doctorate program wraps up in 6 months. It is crunch time. Every spare moment I am working on my research or some other Residency project. I won't be updating the blog often (but I do check my
email often!).
