Saturday's Ride Pix
We had a crisp, sunny day here in New England so I decided to take the camera on my solo ride on Saturday. Here's a few shots along the way.
Crossing the North River:
The back stretch downhill on the crit course in Wampatuck State Park:
Windmill in Hull:
Cohasset coast:
Scituate Light:
Little Harbor in Cohasset:
Little Harbor Inlet:
Cohasset Harbor:
An American tug on the North River:
A local curiosity in Marshfield. It's not often you see a shrine to a dead president in someone's front yard:

thanks for the great pics. You are lucky to ride in such beauty, as long as it is not the four terrible winter months , New England is famous for. What part of Mass. is this. I'd guess near Fall River, maybe?

here's a few more shots from the ride:
Cohasset Harbor:
My dirty ride waiting for a flat repair:
Cranberry Bog in Norwell:
The uphill after the big turn on the Wampy crit course. I used to get dropped here by the hammer gods when I used to race:
Another road view along the coast:
A blue Heron swooping over a pond:
And returning home to wild turkeys in the back yard:

Those were a blast. We had a group that would go up there and race ratty old Free Spirits and Varsity's. A couple of us had Fuji's (which were THE bike to have in the late 70's early 80's).
