Today I
did get out for a ride! Took the '73 Gran Sport out for a little jaunt, Waltham to Lexington to Bedford to Concord, then a figure 8 involving a loop down into Sudbury, back to Concord, then a loop up into Carlisle, back to Concord, then the reverse route back to Waltham.
Climbing the hill on Sudbury Rd up to Verrill Farm I did not see Ms. Floppy Hat. If I had seen her I might have wished her to have a better day. While I was eating a belated lunch (or just lated lunch - it was 1:30 by then) at V.F. the sun came out and the air dried up. What glorious day it turned into. Heading back north to Concord I did see Ms. Broad-Brimmed Hat on a bike but she was riding on the correct side of the road and looked rather prim and proper, almost 19th century.
Today's little jaunt was worth 57.7 miles, not a personal best but my best so far this year. Opportunities to ride for recreation have been scarce. Age of bike + age of rider + mileage = 157.7.
