Warm-up Ride


Spent most of the last two days driving US Bike Route 1 from DC to Fredericksburg in order to identify turns and traffic volume. Although its not well signed, I was able to decifer turns using the VADOT bike map and mapquest. Its such a nice ride coming out of DC down to Mt. Vernon - decided to scrap original plan west of DC and do Bike Rt 1.


Was able to get in a warm-up ride with my family (mom, sister, brother in-law, and nephew) after getting back to Fredericksburg at the Spotsylvania National Battlefield Park - see photo of my nephew, Tucker as we set out for the 8 mile ride.
