2 state lines

This morning for the ride in. And 6 town lines if I counted correctly. Riverside to Barrington to Rohoboth to Seekonk to Rumford to East Providence to Providence. And I won every single one of them.

That's easy to do when you are riding alone. It was such a nice day, the schedule was clear this morning at work and it has been pretty crazy lately so I got in a bit later than normal but not too late.

It really was a fantastic ride. I just rode tempo, and just to ride. The new Google mapping feature is sweet - it is easy to tweak your ride to get distances and all that. Only a 17.7 mile ride and mostly flat and not pushing too hard it was door to door in an hour.

I turned around at one point when I thought I saw a bottle of Pedros lube, but nope, it was a bottle of Irwin Straight line chalk with some still in it. So i stuffed it in a pocket. Bagwell.

The weather was too perfect not to spend an extra bit of time on the bike this morning and explore a new route. I did it by feel, having never actually ridden that way. Yeah. It is pretty odd. I never really ride from the house for a ride without riding up the EBBP to the city. Granted I never really just go on a ride by myself.

I'm going to have to do this more often. It really was a great ride and a nice low traffic smooth road route.
