Karen, sounds like you guys had a good ride. I think those are my favorite, getting lost

My Saturday ride, I started riding and just kept going. I didn't know where I was for the first half, but ended up circling back to a place I knew and kept on going. Its a little harder here where if you ask someone about the next town over they sometimes don't know how to get there on the roads. That and they might not be able to understand my broken Japanese!

20 mile ride on Saturday through Wayland, Sudbury, and Marlboro. Went up the big steep hill on Edmands Rd. in Marlboro for the 1st time this year. My lowest gear still works, and I needed it. Rather chilly - I cut the ride 5 miles short because my feet were cold.

managed to do my old training route

but I had to stop on the hill climb. also fell over when I forgot to unclip out of my pedals when I stopped. (yes ladies, it happens to all of us no matter how experienced you are.)

Tad cold, and slightly windy. But was it fun. The views were just gorgeous. and riding by the ocean, I could smell the clean salt air. The early June gloom, the heavy marine layer/heavy dark overcast, and with the cold temp, it felt like January rides.

I need to take pictures of Lunada Bay, several at Malga Cove and from the top of Hawthorn Blvd. You would think I was riding in Tuscany. Hills, honest to goodness fountains in the middle of the "town center" , surrounded by tiled roof villas.
