Newly back to biking, I gingerly rode across suburban intersections in Holliston, Hopkinton and Ashland. No stupid whims or honking. It was my third 20 mile, tree lined, back road recumbent ride and a mixture of shaded humid breeze and that excitement on the first ride beyond your neighborhood. Thanks to all your brilliant reports I can't wait to cruise from Joe Moakley to Paul Revere. Great posts all!
