It sounds like both a pleasant ride and a testament to the validity of your own advice!
I rode my commute on the Gazelle today, and a lovely ride it was too on the way home. A bit wet this morning, almost misting, almost like riding through a swimming pool.
This is wildlife week, I think. On Monday I saw a family of turkeys in Woburn's Four Corners, was a mom, a dad, and two 1ft tall turklets. Today I saw another solo turkey right in from of Lawless Dodge in Four Corners. I was mildly harassed by a small dog today in an area usually quiet. He seemed to be acting out some territoriality. (Wow, Microsoft Spullchucker thinks territoriality is a real word!)
Finally, I see that Lexington has put down new pavement on Concord Rd on at least the section by the radio towers with the steep hill. I didn't ride yesterday but that new pavement wasn't there on Monday. Now you can fly down that hill without worrying about the bumps!
