where's my yellow jersey?
View Washington & Old Dominion Railroad Trail in a larger map
sunday morning i left the house on my bike and told laura i'd be back in a few hours. 7 hours later, i came back. i rode the washington & old dominion railroad trail end-to-end. the map above is the gps track from my ride. it starts right across the street from our house in shirlington and ends in purceville, west of leesburg. the trail is just shy of 90 miles round trip. it took me about 6:45 of actual riding time and about a 30 minute break when i got to the far end out in purceville, va, where i pounded about 3 gatorades and two cliff bars before heading back to town. i averaged about 13.6mph round trip (again, not including stops). garmin says i burned about 5800 calories. suprisingly, my legs are not nearly as sore as i had expected, but i'm going to have to see how they are tomorrow. anyone wanna go with me next time?

my bet is you feel it tomorrow
That is freaking awesome. Next time I come out to visit Rusty, we should make that happen.
Just read a blog for the 2nd time. Congratulations on the 90 miles that's pretty ridiculous!
impressive, dan. i played a game of hockey for the first time since april in which i was one of only seven skaters and i didn't ralph all over the place. that's impressive, right?
