Speaking of riding in colder weather, I decided to get out for a ride this afternoon, after not having been on the bike for several days. Long cycling pants with thermal tights underneath, jacket over jersey on top, neck gaiter, skull cap under helmet, long fingered gloves.
I decided to see what, if anything, was new on the Somerville Community Path extension alongside the new Green Line tracks. Rode the MM to Alewife, Cambridge Linear Park to Davis, Somerville Community Path to Lowell St.
Progress? Yes! Check this out:
Compared to the last time I was there, about 6 weeks ago, the top coat of asphalt is on the path and the yellow line has been painted. Except for chain link fence, it looks ready to go.
As for my riding attire, I snapped this selfie on the back (Cambridge) side of Alewife:
I tooled around on the Fitchburg Cutoff and the MM, then headed home.
I hope to keep riding at least till mid-December. I have a bit more to go on my mileage goal for 2022.
