July 10th rides

[7rider]

Geez. I almost feel kind of guilty. I have been on vacation ("staycation") all week, and have spent the week playing.
Today, DH and I went to Rosaryville State Park to finally use the mountainbikes. The trails had finally dried out enough to ride after a hugely wet spring.
Fortunately, it was all good, and no growling or snapping at DH on my part!

A beautiful dry sunny day here in MA. I decided to head east so I could do a flat ride. Actually, I combined it with a visit to a fabric shop I've been wanting to go to. I am in the midst of deciding on a fabric for living room drapes I am going to sew. So the bike ride was a wonderful 50 miles and I went to the ocean and also ate one of the better lobster rolls I've had in a while.

I was trying to make my commute extra long, 40 miles instead of 36, but on the last few miles, I flatted. A cyclist stopped, but I had it under control, and he went on his way. Of course, as soon as he left, I used up my 2 CO2s, and had to start walking. Within a few minutes, a nice man with 2 little boys stopped and offered me a ride to my car. I swore to never take another ride from a stranger after the last guy was creepy, but I'm glad I took this one. I'm sure the boys were proud of their father for helping a total stranger.

Rethinking the pump issue.

I ran some errands on my bike, totaling 20 miles. I stopped for supper on the way home. It was fun.
