My Sunday Ride - August 24 rides

[Crankin]

We rode from our house into Harvard Center, by way of Oak Hill. The general store there has reopened, but they had nothing to eat, except hot dogs. So, we sat on the "bench" on the town green and ate our Luna Bars. The first 2 photos are from here. I like the one of the street sign, because it says the names of the 2 places I have lived around here. It was really nice out, but when we left here, it got cloudy and a little cool. We made our way to Bolton, crossed Rt. 117 and found the porta potties were gone, since the last time I did this ride. The rest of the pictures are from Bolton, on one of the prettiest roads in the area. The horse was refusing to get in the trailer, no matter what the people did. When we got back to Rt. 117, we decided to book it to West Acton for lunch. We had been taking it pretty easy, but I knew the cafe closed at 2 and we got there at 1:30. But, it was closed . So, no gourmet sandwich or coffee. We went to a pizza place and shared a turkey sub and then biked the 6.5 miles home, including the last 2 hills.
When we got back we went to Cycle Loft to pick up my new bars. When we were there, we took the last picture, which is a photo of a photo from the 2000 NEBC team. If you look on the right, about 3/4 way up the top, you will see a very handsome, young man with a big smile. That's my son, Scott when he was 15.
