42 miles on the De Rosa. Low 50s and sunny; felt colder. Scituate-Glocester RI.
Jim you need to bring the Masi down to the little states some Sunday before it gets too cold.

Took the Santa Ana river trail from Ange'ls stadium down to Huntington Beach. From my house all together, just over 30 miles. It was pretty warm today, but a nice southern California day. First long ride on the Gitane in a while, as it is usually used for shorter trips.

Got back in the hills today - only it was a little chilly which affected the lungs a little.
If I had known the road had been packed down so much I would have taken a smooth tire bike

Looked like this when I started:

scozim- what a difference between our pictures! Granted mine was a week ago, but still we are both west coast. We are having a little rain down here, but nothing like that. I am hoping to get out on the trail this weekend if weather permits. I may head inland instead this time...

Scott: wow, from the first photo I'd have never guessed it would've ended up the way it did! Yikes 
Alex Moll and I went out on a short, double-Colnago Vet's Ride at noon today. Temps were in the mid-40s, no wind, no clouds and no rain. Short but sweet, with lunch in a classic diner in Arlington (cup o' Joe: 75 cents). Perfect!
I took two bikes: Alex will be keeping my '83 Colnago Mexico on ice for me until such time as I either return to live or return to visit. I rode the '73 Super.
Car loaded up with both bikes:
I'm going to miss that gold machine:
'73 Super at our meeting spot; Arlington Station rest stop:
Sure looks like fall to me:
Descending the section I've dubbed the "Fuchsrohre" - lots of others out on the bikes, too:
The barn at the northernmost trailhead is now painted a jaunty shade of red:
The barn - note the historic photos on the side:
Barn detail:
Colnago at the barn:
A few more to come...

I got out for about 1hr15min this afternoon as an extended lunchtime run. Waltham, Belmont, Arlington, Alewife, back out to Lexington, back home. I can't tell you how far it was because the bikes doesn't have a computer and I haven't had time to work it out on a map.
My sweetie said "Take the Masi out for a spin. Have fun and be careful." That's like saying "Eat all you want and save room for dinner." Okay, so maybe being careful really is a good idea.

I'm tracking my rides using an app on my phone, but I think I'm going to do like rhm and start saving the length and total ascent of my rides in a spreadsheet. I keep adding them up over and over and it makes more sense to just keep a spreadsheet.

I get cold just thinking about riding in 35° weather, especially since the sun wasn't out. Good on you scozim!

I rode 117 miles today. elevation gain 3432' I figured I would take advantage of the weather and the sunlight before it slipped away. Start was 45 and cloudy, temp rose to low 60s and sunny. RI-CT-MA-CT-RI
I rode through a bunch of new towns.
Glocester RI
Thompson CT
Red White School House Woodstock CT
So the placard in front of the building said that this is the first and last of the 13 one room school houses in Wooidstock. It was founded in 1705 and was painted red until it burned in 1873. When they built this structure to replace it they painted it white. All the town folk called it the red white school house after that, sic the name. If you look close you can see my De Rosa. I had a pbj break on the steps.
Abington CT Congregational church built 1751. The oldest standing continuously used church in CT.
Hampton CT
Plainfield CT
hexagonal painted rock with American flag on each side with sickle and hammer imposed on top. Weird.
I didn't take any pictures in MA, but I did stop at a bike shop in Southbridge to ask for directions and talked for a while with the owner who was very gregarious.

Today I took a vacation day and we rode the Nashua River Rail Trail and some roads in Dunstable and Pepperell. 52.8 miles, not a bad day. It started under white skies but eventually the blue came out.
We passed one field in Dunstable that had 10ft high cornstalks the last time we went through, but this time it had been planted with winter rye to restore the ground nitrogen. At the far end of the field we found preparations for Thanksgiving Day dinner:
Saw lots of bright color. For example, at the northern end, just into New Hampshire:
And of course we had the obligatory lunch:

I'm really happy to see that tandem getting ridden as much as it is. I'd be happy to ride our tandems even half what you're able to accomplish, but as it stands we're doing about 1/4 what you're doing! BTW, i know how good the lunches are that Sharon prepares. I'm envious!

That's it! Next year, I'm going to have to do a ride with you. Seeing all these great places where you ride is just too much to bear.

Rides from most boring to most interesting this weekend.
- First an hour on an indoor cycling bike before sun up.
- Later that afternoon, 20 miles on my usual Afton climbing route (liking the Sugino AT on the trek 630 with the 28 granny, but need to fix a creaky bottom bracket - which is a new sealed unit, this is perplexing).
- Finally another 8-10 miles riding yesterday on an old three speed Huffy mixtie getting around the gun club (I was a supervising range officer, so needed to bounce from range to range all day to keep tabs on things). Pulled the mixtie from the scrap bin where someone had left it for recycling, fixed a couple things, pumped up the tires, viola). Sort of odd, me riding a green mixtie around the club against the backdrop of hunters and the constant gunfire. Yes, I took some guff for it, but would do it again. Love those old three speeds, and it beat walking for sure.
And good luck through the hurricane, to those out east.

I just spent an hour on the bike, but it was on a trainer in my livingroom. Outside the wind is howling and the rain is falling. An open window a few from my face let me feel the wind in my hair. The scenery changed entertainingly because thanks to a hi-def TV right in front of the bike I could watch Star Trek Next Generation via Netflix. Plus, I got to ride my Raleigh Gran Sport, a bike which as been feeling neglected lately.

How many were along for the ride?

Bucolic scenes of southern New england

JScaliger - great shots of the roads. Looks like a lot of fun.
Mid-50's here also - got in 25 miles for lunch with the Spectrum and the newly installed Suntour Sprint crankset. I definitely could feel a difference - not sure why because my legs were tired from yesterday. The cranks actually don't seat as far in as the Sakae CR ones did and maybe that's the difference. Great, fast ride on a wonderful bike.

I see there are a handful of pictures on your blog. I take it that the ti Spectrum is what you're referring to here.

49.7 miles on the tandem. (When will I ever get to ride solo again? ) Long story, long trip sort of. We went out with a neighbor on his Serotta. His wife was hoping to go to a newly-opened garden center, and after our lunch break I suggested we head down to some roads in that direction and eventually we all decided to go by that garden center and meet her. Everybody ended up happy.

18 easy miles on the 1986 Trek TX900. This is the stiffest steel bike I've ever ridden. A 25 mph headwind made the last 6 miles a little more work than I was expecting.
