Even though we are having a thunderstorm now, the sun was out almost the whole day! Went on a nice ride over to my old neighborhood, ended up being almost 30 miles, by the time we were done.
There's less cyclists where we rode, mostly because the roads in Concord are monopolized by huge group rides, serious racers training, and people from Boston who read about routes here in some guide books to cycling in Boston. It's not that there aren't riders in the next town, but it's just far enough west, that it thins out. My street seems to have been discovered also, like hey, here's a cool steep hill to climb! It's amazing, since I have lived around here for almost 20 years and I had never seen this street until we looked at our house. Today I saw several couples riding, which was nice. They looked like they were just out having a good ride, just like we were. I don't mean to sound grumpy, but I feel like the roads around here are being taken over by cyclists who don't have very good etiquette sometimes.
