A few shots from yesterday's ride

I could write more about it in prose but yesterday's write up will suffice. creative license with the words and form and flow.


I did snap a few shots, have something super amazingly cool to look at soon on the scope.  That said I'm tired. The ride in today with the trailer was okay, I'm just crazy hungry and tired.  Go figure.  I was pretty light on the calories all day yesterday.  No bonk, no cramp, even wearing full black kit in that blazing sun.  Also no sunburn.  Not even f'n tan line improvement.  That sunscreen actually f'n works.  6 hrs in the blazing sun and pasty white boy is still... pasty white.

okay some photos in boring creative default center configuration

 Blue Hill from 138 over I-93.  Looking up.

 Finally got to the top. Seriously there was a woman walking up in fancy flats and a green cocktail/work dress. I was not riding much faster than she was walking.

 Lunch.

can I look any goofier? Nope.  But god damn that's a cool bike getting prep'd.  These guys are f'n awesome.  Riding solo means taking chances with the bike if you have to piss in a store, or you stop in somewhere friendly.

I'm tired.  Crazy hungry today, and loading with coffee.  But the ride in with the trailer (rock and extra stuff) to Bike to Work day was fun.  Great turn out today, weather was pretty damn close to perfect.  Ready for a nap though.  So. Tired.  Stupid dog wanted me to get up early and she was not responding to normal snooze commands "Lie DOWN" "Lucy, let me sleep, please." "it is FIVE OCLOCK go back to sleep."  nope.  Legs were feeling good sleeping, no issue there.  Hell it was a short freaking ride.

Woods Hole and back.  That is going to be a challenge.

Oh and the 93 was after riding the Leg Waster night.  Gave Paul a run for the first sprint line (he took it) then we hit Pine, and Fox lead out from the base, I took second pull and set the pace high and then Burke and Paul went for it, Syl jumped to try and get the second KOM (I think Paul took that too).  But we hit Rocky Hill with a super steady and strong lead out by Brier and Burke jumped late and I was able to go around and take that.  We hit Hillside and Brier again took up the pace making and set a tough but managable pace.  I knew Paul wasn't going to go early this time but I figured he knew where to top was.  So Brier pulled off and I forget what happened now but I might have started and I kind of miss shifted, Syl took off and I jumped on his wheel.  Syl then really attacked and I went for it.  And on a day I hadn't planned on doing any work, I took Rocky Hill and Hillside.  Rolled it back nice and steady.  Fastest loop, was good.  We had six guys there, four men in black.  Derdowski showed up at the end to roll back with us to make for a full seven on the return, that and the bike path home was riding into a stiff f'n headwind.  Oof.  Took pictures there but I'll have to save those for later.  Maybe, if I get to them.
