Cycling in November—Today was a beautiful day for a ride. It was sunny, a little cool at around 50°, and dry. There were many people on the trail, but mostly the more serious riders. It seems that the average summer rider has decided that their season is over until spring. They need to discover cycling in November. There are not bugs, you don't need to drink copious amounts of fluids, and you don't sweat that much. I can't imagine sitting inside watching television on a day like this, although I suspect that many Redskins fans were doing just that.

I'd like to try to keep track of the days that are fit for cycling during this winter, just to let people who don't believe that one can cycle year round in northern Virginia know the facts.
