My sweetie and I went for a tandem ride today from the house in Waltham to Carlisle and back, 49.3 miles with a stop at Hutchins Farm in Concord.
On the way out we came upon what must have been a serious accident on the MM west of Arlington Center, police vehicle stopped, medical assistants helping some man lying prone in the street and seemingly in pain, medical rescue vehicle coming in, bikes strewn around and bikers and pedestrians watching. The MM can be a
very dangerous place.
The rest of the ride was uneventful almost. Saw a pretty tandem at Fern's General Store. Lots of bikes out. Some sort of kids' activities going on in Bedford.
Had a bit of a technical problem with the bike not liking to stay consistently on the smaller cogs. Well, what the...? When we got home I found this:
After 6000 miles on a tandem it's time for a new chain anyway!
