Back in cruise mode I rode over to Pegan Hill and didn't unclip until I made it up to the top to enjoy the view.
I've been delinquent on the Metro Boston thread, but your note prompted a brief reply. Where is Pegan Hill?

Also, after passing Wilsondale St off of Westfield St in Westwood for decades, I finally rode Strawberry Hill St off of Dedham St to Wilsondale back to to Westfield St. You have written about it before...What a treat!

In particular though, I’m going to an afternoon barbecue in Sherborn tomorrow, intending to ride my bike. What’s notable though, is that rain is forecast, and I never ride my pristine carbon fiber bike in the rain, nor do I ride my heavy beater mountain bike on a long(er) pleasant/training ride. However, tomorrow AM, I’m going to pick up my new aluminum road bike, that I just bought to be my rain beater from about March until December, when the studded tires go on the mountain bike.

It'll be just my luck that tomorrow will be a beautiful day, and I'll succumb to the lure of carbon fiber.


PS: and what's the route of the Dover Time Trial?
