Took the LHT out on the Minuteman five-ish, yet another little ride before dinner.
This dude ran the light at Mass. Ave. and Mystic Street, about as incompetently as possible without actually getting hit by a car. Perhaps he was simply clueless about how the intersection worked; he saved at most 10 seconds.
If you're crossing Mill Street tonight, ride around the cones: there's a hole in the middle.
The Detour signs were up at Fottler Avenue, but folks coming down the path said it was open.
So I gave it a try. The way was clear, with several freshly repaved sections that were solid, but still throwing off heat. Riding over them was a little like fire walking; didn't seem to damage the tires, so all was well.
Cross your fingers, this may fix the long-standing puddles between Maple Street and Seasons Four.
