May Day
Gorgeous and busy weekend, which included a 40m ride on Friday, 65m on Saturday, and 75m on Sunday, giving me a total of 180 miles for the weekend. Links go to the Garmin Connect maps.
Friday was a bee-line out-and-back to Kimball’s ice cream in Carlisle. A strong west wind made the outbound leg a slog, but the return was fast and easy.
Saturday’s Quad ride was pretty standard, except I was the only person to do the Dinosaur hill. I still beat the riders who took the shorter, flatter “Mod-a-saur” route through Great Brook Farm. Stopped on the way home in Cambridge for Roopa’s picnic on the Charles.
Sunday a few others joined me on the Dinosaur, then back up 225 to Kimball’s, then Strawberry Hill backwards. Hence the extra miles.
Looks like I ought to be ready to undertake the mid-May CRW Spring Century this year if the weather is favorable.
