24.8 mi Out-and-back 322 ft gain

The East Coast Greenway is a 3,000-mile (4,800 km) pedestrian and bicycle route between Maine and Florida along the East Coast of the United States. The nonprofit East Coast Greenway Alliance was created in 1991 with the goal to use the entire route with off-road, shared-use paths; as of 2021, over 1,000 mi (1,600 km) of the route (35%) meets these criteria. In 2020, the Greenway received over 50 million visits.

Today's verdict

Skip today — the bike can wait.

Pavement: wet — wet during the likely ride window — reduced braking, road spray, limited visibility to drivers.
25 mph wind — strong — plan for slow outbound if wind is against you.
Exposed + wet + windy — mixed traffic in wet windy conditions — visibility and handling margin drop together.
67°F air — right in road cycling's sweet spot
