rumrunn6 well wishes to your wife. I know exactly what you mean by "hidden in the shade". Those bollards and gates on the MM, while they do keep an occasional confused driver away, have always been tricky to get around.
I had family obligations today, so headed out for a sprinter ride this morning. Ended up taking the Reformatory Branch roller coaster into Concord and then headed immediately back without stopping. Pleasantly empty roads, though there were quite a few cyclists, even on the RFT. Set a few personal records on Strava, which means I'm getting back to my previous shape.
Right now I'm standing in a very long line at the Aeronaut beer garden in Arlington. It's a full house over here and lots of bikes. Sadly, I did not cycle here this time.
