If you have time and can swing it, the part near Dulles is amazing. Maybe swing out on the way home? https://airandspace.si.edu/

Heat down stair is officially broken. It’s 56 degrees downstairs. Crazy the one time we go out of town this happens. Checked out the holocaust museum, and natural history museum yesterday. Gunna hit up the air and space museum today and head home.
So the wife and I saw something that was a little crazy to us.
Temperature was around 30 degrees last night around 6 pm, wind chill was 27 ish, This lady rides her bike by with a baby in the front seat. The baby had no hat on, was just in pajamas and her cheeks were bright red. I know Im a wimp in the cold but that seemed extreme. My cheeks hurt and I didn’t have the extra windchill affect of being on a moving bike.
Happy hump day everybody.

The stir-crazies are setting in - I need to get out on a ride.

Vain, But Lacking Talent
Did a tougher ride on the Zwifting last night. Some good climbing. The jungle section, to put it bluntly, pisses me off though. I went and got a gravel specific frame/wheelset so I could switch bikes once I got to those roads and it's still like pedaling in dry sand. Your power and cadence stay the same, but suddenly you're doing 12 mph instead of 18 or so. Grossly over exaggerated in my opinion. That was a fairly recent update from them to add more realism, but I think they need to go back to the drawing board on that one. I think I'll just avoid that section for now.
On the good side, I've lost a solid 8 or so pounds since I started back on the bike in mid December. Quite a bit more to go, but at least that's in the right direction.

Hey bampilot06 - did you say that you've got a regular group ride? If so: what day? where? do they welcome riders with questionable skills and modest abilities?
