Saturday ...
43 miles at 13.5 MPH. Yes, it was a lazy morning with too many stops for pictures and a brief ride on trails. Some times it seems like I just can't be fast with an early start, especially when combined with fog, not that I'm ever that fast. But Saturday was an especially slow day. Some pictures:
|
The Cambridge Reservoir, looking low. |
|
Hanscom runway. I didn't hear any planes taking off or landing and I certainly couldn't see any. |
|
It looks bucolic but this is the prison farm at the Concord prison rotary. |
|
This is what I learned from Rob Vandermark - signs sometimes aren't all that meaningful. Yes, you would need a jeep to exit at the other end but I could make it on 25 MM tires. |
|
Trail riding. I headed down here for a bio break but decided to see where it went. |
|
It went here. Some roots and few rocks, except for one short section. |
|
A runner suggested that I keep left here, despite the road surface. My Garmin suggested this way as well. The road was rough but not impassable. |
|
Umm ... this hole is 2 feet deep and much wider below the asphalt. I hope Sudbury repairs this soon. |
|
My favorite road. Apparently it is quite old. |
The Saturday ride route, except for the short diversion onto a trail on Old Mill Road.
After getting up so early and staying up late for working during the week, I was much too tired to get to Adam Myersons #lastlap retirement party and fundraiser for Bikes Not Bombs. I had a hall pass but was too tired to consider riding or driving into Boston.
Sunday ...
No pictures. It was an energetic ride - 26 miles in under 1 hour and 30 minutes with no stops except for stop signs and red lights, and there were few of those. I took the Page Road/Grove Street route from Bedford to Lexington, just to try to ride a hill without losing too much speed. I had a lot left in my legs but had to get home to help with dinner. The difference between sleepy legs and not is amazing. I love early morning rides but this ride was great fun.
Miles for the weekend: 69, miles for the month: 380, miles for the year 2920.
