Whos down in the md/dc/va area. The weather will suck its supposed to be in the 90's so no record runs will be set but it should be fun to get out and make some runs.

Hope you get into the 10's Jay and forget the Chianti, pick anything from Bolgheri that ends in aia. Ornellaia, Gaia, Sassicaia, Solaia ... you can't miss.

I was just thinking this morning, I hate warm air.

My measured area only yields 134 in the 75F+ degree morning air, while 143 is possible everyday when the temps are under 65F.
