This morning my wife said she was going Auburn, so my bike and I hitched a ride and rode home to Billerica from there. The ride started on Pakachoag St. where they have a slotted storm drain/bicycle trap installed. Gotta be careful of that one! After that; some hills that certainly got my attention. For this ride, I had my brand new Garmin 520 plus to help with navigation. I first created my route with Strava, then I picked it up with the Garmin. Trouble is, somewhere along the ride, I must have pocket pushed, or dumb thumbed my phone, so I lost a lot of ride data from Strava. (My legs know the score.) The Garmin worked like a champ though. Anyway, the ride was going good until I got a flat, but fortunately there was a handy dandy bike stand by the side of the road.
