May 16 Day 5: Recovery Day in Washington, DC (0 miles)

After riding ~ 250 miles, the group had a “day off” in Washington DC (not that biking is really “work”). Dan and I left for an impromptu walking tour around 10 am, visiting the following: White House, World War II Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Martin Luther King Monument, Air and Space Museum, National Gallery of Art, and the Navy Memorial. We ate lunch at the Food Trucks by L’ Enfant Metro Stop, had terrific shrimp and oysters at Old Ebbet’s Grill during happy hour. Overall, a terrific day with perfect weather. Walked 9.5 miles.
