I slacked off this winter; went skiing, used my trainer and have been out only a little.
What a great weekend! 37 miles Friday, 30 Sat. and 65 miles today.
Went Dover, Wellesley, Weston Observatory, Lincoln, Concord, Carlisle and back via Sudbury, Wayland, Natick and Wellesley.
I'm riding Fixed Gear with fenders and 35c tires as long as there is so much runoff, salt, sand and our version of California earthquakes (aka potholes). I came back sans blinky and water bottle.; still great ride.
You?

For training purposes, I can expand my routes to encompass popular high-level cycling outer suburbs (e.g.

The title of that thread with the above quoted OP is “Metro Boston: Good ride today?,” IMO the de facto Metro Boston subforum on the Northeast Regional Discussion Forum:

Of course we in Metro Boston all know the region, and each other, at least electronically, so we are a ready receptive audience for each other.
I have thought of that thread as the cycling equivalent of “apres-ski” after a day on the slopes, where we gather to exchange stories, routes, photos, ribbing, and (?) tall tales…
Besides [MENTION=353962]mr_bill[/MENTION], I tout [MENTION=233020]rholland1951[/MENTION] as a premier photojpournalist on that thread:.

I have referred to him as the “town crier,”or perhaps “wandering minstrel.”
The Minuteman Bikepath is very popular and traverses some of Metro Boston's foremost Revolutionary War History. Maybe mentioning Rod will entice him to post to this thread.
