Final Long Training Ride

Today I completed a great training ride with a few ups and downs.  The "up" was that I rode 65 miles and felt real good afterwards.  The "down" was that I broke a spoke about 15 miles into the ride, but this was followed by an "up" when I found a nearby bike shop that was able to fix it.  I rode from my house in Herndon to the W&OD trail about 20 miles to Leesburg, then 5 miles north to the Whites Ferry over to Maryland, then rode the C&O Canal towpath 35 miles to DC, then took the metro from Foggy Bottom to Reston, then rode 5 miles home.  Here's a map showing my route from Herndon to DC.

Here's a video compilation of a few highlights of today's training ride:
