Ride 9: 6/15 NRRT 11.6 km; total: 97.3

I made no changes since last ride, and went down and back with my dear wife on the Nashua River Rail Trail. Everything is working just right.

I'm close to completing the distance for the challenge, just under 3 km to go, but I’ve yet to lose more weight, and I’ve not found the entrance to the airport trail.

Ride 10: 6/16 Getting lost in the woods Part 2; challenge complete

Got lots of scratches on my legs by walking around through the woods, trying again to find the trail to the airport, in vain. Note: not shown on map is maybe ˝ km of wandering in the woods lost, after Strava crashed on me. I gave up looking, and instead, rode to Dunklee Pond, another of my old favorite cross-bike trails I frequented on my Alumicross, pre-Covid. The Huffy was capable enough, except I decided to walk, not ride, over one or two deep sandy patches. I rode about 12 km, bringing the total to just over 109 km.

Trying to find my way out... helpful trail information (?) (!)


Stone walls throughout NH woods…




Question: can anyone identify the year make and model of this car that sits at the edge of, and sometimes in, Parker Pond?
