Mayanorange and I did a pleasant 18 mile ride through Concord and Carlisle. Another beautiful New England day, with tons of cyclists out. It was still pretty cool when I left and it always amazes me to see people riding in short sleeves and shorts when it's in the low fifties or forties. Like Red Rhodie, I started off wanting to wear something way too warm for climbing temperatures. But since I knew our ride would be short, I decided against arm warmers and went for a very light weight wool jersey with a Craft sleeveless base layer under it. I love this jersey; I have had it for a long time and I can't find another one like it. It's a Performance brand, but I don't think it's made anymore.
We stopped at Great Brook Farm for a bit and headed back to Concord center, where we ate lunch at the Colonial Inn. By this time, it was warmer, so we sat out on the patio. Mayanorange was able to have the chicken pot pie she had been dreaming about!
