still on a break from work so my daily bike rides are errand runs or to visit friends etc.

Great ride today- I left a favorite hat at a friends, who lives about 6 miles away but I decided to piece together a bike path loop that turned it into a fantastic 25 mile ride on a snowy evening.

Tonight was the first night I've really needed the studded snows all winter. Linking up the MDC bike path that starts in Newton and then I cut over to Cambridge, a couple of miles on nice little side streets, then picked up the path into Arlington and found the little gate off the bike path to my friends street.

Nice to roll along the river and through the back yards on a nice wide empty MUP.

Came back into my little village, bought a 6 pack of beer and some fish and chips to go and came home.

A perfect night- and I got my hat.
