Today Madei went on the "Sight Ride." The ride is named this, as it is part of the route we have done for a charity ride, sponsored by the Acton Lions Club, which raises money for glasses for children. I have about ten pictures, but since I have not figured out how to put text under each picture, I will give a little narration here.
We started out at 9:30 AM, to meet our friends at ten. It was cool, about 55 and cloudy, but I decided to bite the bullet and not wear my knee warmers, because it was predicted to go up to 75. There's a couple of pictures from before we started out, at the house. When we got to the meeting place (High St. and Rt. 62 in Acton), I thought it was odd that we were in front of the cigar, beer, and wine store.
Off we went. We rode in Sudbury for awhile, through the Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge; there's a couple of pictures from there. Then DH managed to take 2 pictures where he was riding, holding Madei in one hand and the camera in the other
. After I yelled at him to stop, she got put away for awhile. We rode through Weston and Lincoln, and back to Concord center. I had Madei in my jersey pocket, so she got a little sweaty. No room on my teeny bars for her, since i have my light on there, next to my computer. We did ride through Hanscom Field and past the Louisa May Alcott House, but we were all tired and didn't stop for pictures. The last few pictures are from the Concord Visitor's center, where cyclists from near and far stop to use the facilities and fill up their bottles. It was a ten year battle to get this public rest room built! Madei is now resting in her little box. We rode 40 miles.
Who wants her next?
