Rode through development, down the old tracks by the high school, through the HS woods trail a few times, and back through the development.
5.5 miles, 12.7 mph average, top speed 21.7 (that’s on level, not downhill), about 22 minutes or so.
Going to get major rain & wind tomorrow so likely no riding - and then have visits Wednesday night so will be Thursday (Debate night!) before I can ride again.
Everyone needs one of these on their car:
Just so you know where I stand….
Today’s ride took us up to Minuteman National Historic Park where the colonists first took on the british on April 19th, 1775.
We started at the visitor’s center - road the battle trail west towards Concord - and ended up at the Old North Bridge. After some time there, motored down to Concord Center, had some ice cream, and then headed back.
12.7 Miles, Average Speed just under 9 mph. Top speed 15.7 mph.
Some pictures from today:

You see some interesting people along the Battle Road - here’s a tour guide speaking about the British that are buried just off of the Battle Road:
Even the bikes need a break:
Returned to Silver City Bicycles with my sidekick. She picked up a 2005 Trek 2900 in the blue & yellow scheme, a helmet, gloves, shorts, cage, water bottles, and other goodies. Then it was back to Massasoit again:
7.0 Miles, Average Speed 8.5 mph, 48 minutes, Top Speed 22.6 mph. 4 miles trails, 3 miles road.
Exhausted now!
Concord and the Battle Road tomorrow if things hold…
Short ride this morning - longer ride this afternoon with a partner (once she picks up her bike today). Again, at Massasoit State Park.
5.4 Miles (1 mile road, 4.4 miles trails) - average speed 9.8 mp/h, Top Speed 18 mph. 22 minutes.
Bought a Thule Speedway 962 on Thursday night and installed it last night. Today was its first use - we’ll try it out for two bikes this afternoon.
