It's good to see everyone getting out. Bit of hot weather on the east coast though.

On Saturday my sweetie and I did an almost-metric (62.1 miles) on ye old tandem, home in Waltham to Chelmsford and back. First stop was Walden Pond:

We ended up with 61.5 miles yesterday. I had to walk the bike up one hill. Couldn't negotiate the tandem around the bones of all the other cyclists who'd perished in the attempt.

Here are a few examples. I think the second one is where I walked, but I may be mistaken:
