NOVA-CBG Extended Cherry Blossom Recon Ride

A little chilly at the start but a lovely day to ride. The cherry blossoms are taking their sweet time getting ready to bloom, aside from a few white blossomed trees around Hains Point that have started to bloom. Kenwood is even further behind DC and Chris neglected to mention that there were HILLS up in that neighborhood. Mary, Stephanie, and I decided to forego the ride into Foxhall Terrace and spirited ourselves back to Shirlington via 23rd Street, New Hampshire Avenue, and Virginia Avenue to return to the trail by Thompson's Boat House. A nice lunch at Guapo's topped off the ride, which I followed with a quick jaunt to FreshBikes to test ride a Specialized Shiv Expert. I'm sold on it and priced it to my specs, which amounts to an ungodly amount of money. But I still really, really liked it. So it looks like I'll buy it early next week. Now what the hell am I really gonna do with another bike, much less a TT/Tri bike? And of course this resets the N+1 for bikes. Oy! Such fun!
