Jacques of all Trades

Beautiful biking weather this morning, so I stretched my commute via the Key and 14th Street bridges.

An absolutely gorgeous morning for a bike ride into the office.

(With a gratuitous peek of hairy leg)!

More traffic in the office bike racks today, as it appears olks took advantage of the non-90 degree weather. (Actually, the humidity was almost refreshing this morning, with temps in the 70s).

Good morning, Mr. President. (May I call you Abe)?

I’ve heard about the water-skiing Santa at National Harbor every year, but I was still a bit surprised to see someone waterskiing on the “most-endangered” Potomac River this evening as I was riding on Hains Point.  

Well downstream of the No-Wake Zone, of course!

Sunbathed bikes at the Reagan Bldg Bike to Work Day pit stop.

Gorgeous Bike to Work Day weather!

It was definitely a wet ride in, but I felt like I upped my bike commuting level today, only seeing one other cyclist crazy enough to ride in in this downpour.

I was fairly soaked on the ride home, but that came with a great sense of accomplishment!

Yesterday’s run was nice (if longer than expected), but I was happy to get back on the bike this morning, with an unexpected cool mist setting the tone for the ride in.

No bike, no problem. It’s great weather for a long jog home.
