What a great day to ride-finally! After 2 months of riding in sub arctic cold or being unable to ride due to obligations that somehow got in the way of riding, I was able to ride today! 'Took the new Boon 7 cross bike out with a fresh sat of Bontrager 38mm CX0's for 47 miles. I found it a new experience to have half the gears to choose from. It only felt additionally challenging when climbing a few rolling hills. I had to stand where as when on a road bike I could sit and spin. It was the longest ride with this bike so far. I could get up to a good sprint with the limited gearing options and wide tires but overall I find it a wee bit slower than my road bikes-so what. It's allowing me to ride when I otherwise would be limited to my hybrid which is just not as fun without drop bars. I also could roll over new road side ruts, sand, and crud that I would have dart and weave through with my road bikes. The Schwalbe Winters are still on order and should arrive at the LBS next week. I'd love to not need them but should appreciate them when I do.

Later on I jumped on said hybrid and cruised on up the Charles River path to Russo in Watertown and filled the panniers and handlebar basket to the rim with produce.
