The Woods are Calling Me

Sunday, March 27th, 2005

It’s the first real day over 50 degrees here in Boston. My mountain bike is calling my name silently from the basement - Massasoiet State Park is haunting me.. I can hear the crunch of tires across snow, leaf, and twig..

I cannot resist.

Off for a couple hours of pure torture - and incredible beauty.
