Nice!

I spent about three years commuting via car/bike/train. I'd drive from Waltham to the Univ/RR Ave train station, take the commuter train to N Attleboro, then bike over to Lincoln, RI. I imagine that's the same commuter line. It was quite nice, but of course they let you do it during commuter hours only in the non-busy direction. You roll your bike into the handicapped romm at the end of the car, find a way to lean it against the side wall, and just sit or stand thee keeping it company. I got to know the conductor pretty well and he always showed me special small courtesies. Some days there were a lot of bikes!

We are planning to walk parts of Great Meadows in Concord and then ride the Old Reformatory RT. We figure it might be in the woods and less susceptible to the wind, less stressful. Maybe we'll see you.
