It's a holiday here, but I am "working." Well, none of my clients have shown up, so..
Friday did about 34 miles with Hirakukibou, around Acton and Stow and back to Concord. We had a lovely stop for coffee and banana bread at the airport cafe in Stow. Saturday, just a short ride to Acton and back, about 21 miles. Yesterday DH and I rode into Sudbury (not sure why we rarely ride in this direction), where it was just beautiful going through Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. The goal was to avoid riding in Concord and carlisle, because with the holiday weekend, the tourists and looky-loos are out in full force. We were going to ride to Longfellow's Wayside Inn and the Grist Mill, but decided against that for the same reasons. Took DH through a "private" neighborhood path that I had been on, on a group ride and headed into Hudson and back to Stow, Boxborough, and Acton, finally back to Concord We did 38 miles, with quite a bit of apple pickers and congestion around the farm stands. Ack, too many drivers who don't know where they are going.
This morning I decided to ride before work. First, I realized I was was overdressed, so I stopped to take off my wool glove liners. Then I realized my back light wasn't working. Back up the hill to my house . DH fixed it, and I attached another blinky to my back in case. By this time, I had wasted a half hour. I rode 10.5 miles and I think i must have been going super slowly, as it was later than I thought when I got back. But, I still love riding through Concord center before the town wakes up.
I am tired and glad it will be raining tomorrow.
