Sounds like a great vacation! Good to have you back in town and riding.

I took the Gazelle out today for 54.1 miles. Mostly roads I've ridden recently, but Baker Bridge Road from Lincoln Center to rt 126 is always worth another run. Past all the semi-famous old architects' houses (look up Gropius House). Walden Pond must be a popular place. The state is apparently limiting the number of people by closing it temporarily. This is twice in a row I've ridden by and seen the "Re-opens at 1:30" signs.

Some nice pastoral scenes from Baker Bridge Rd.





The obligatory stop for lunch at Ferns in Carlisle. Lots of bikes out today. This was only 11PM, early for the usual rush.



So many wheels so little steel
So many folks yet so few spokes
For hands the brift, not brake and shift
Whence the glory? No sew-ups tell the story.

(But you can almost spot the Gazelle hiding in there somewhere.)
