Crazy traffic

I started my trip back to Michigan this afternoon, but it did not go quite as smoothly as I had hoped. I ran into complete gridlock on the George Washington Parkway (supposedly the Beltway was backed up due to snow removal), and by the time I made it to I-270, I was engulfed in complete rush hour madness. It took me two and a half hours to go twenty miles. So instead of driving all of the way back to Michigan, I am spending the night in Pennsylvania, and finishing the drive up tomorrow.

I was pondering the fact that I can bicycle twenty miles in far less than two and a half hours. I can't imagine what the traffic in DC will look like tomorrow, as everyone attempts to head out for the holidays.
