OK, DH had the great idea that we should ride to see the site of our "final resting place," a cemetery which was just consecrated a couple of weeks ago. We bought the plots 2 years ago, when the only Jewish cemetery in the western suburbs of Boston decided to expand. He was being very "glib" about it, which I thought was a little disrespectful, but since it's riding in a direction we usually don't go in, I said sure.
It's about a 10-11 mile ride, by Walden Pond and generally nice scenery, although on a main 2 lane road. I felt strange the whole way there, although it's a very nice day out. When we got there, after the first few feet, the road was gravel, and not really hard packed, as no one "lives" there yet, so no cars have been riding in. Was not really thrilled about riding on the gravel on my skinny tires, either. We rode up to our "section," where DH proceeded to take pictures of our plots and I finally said I had to get out of there. It is a very peaceful spot, though. As soon as I turned onto the main road, I felt 100% better and we had a beautiful ride through Great Meadows and back through a part of Concord I rarely do through. We stopped and had lunch at a farm and rode home from there, for a total of 29.5 miles.
