I got out for an extended lunch time ride. Went across the old Metropolitan State Hospital grounds and up the steep Concord Rd hill past the radio towers, cut over to Mass Ave into Lexington Center, down the MM to rt225, back up 225 through Lexington, and so back home. I rode the Miami Vice Ironman.
Today's most curious event - I'm puffing up the steepest part of the Concord Rd hill where the grade is about 15% when a car coming down the hill stops in the middle of the road. The driver sticks his head out and asks "Is Trapelo Rd down this way?" Like I'm capable of thinking what road I'm on at the moment. Or maybe he thinks I'm going to stop and give him directions right there. I just said "yeah" and kept pedaling, kept breathing. I should have said "Over that way" but I didn't think of it.
