Newton to Lowell and back today on the trike. 60 mi. Via Watertown, Belmont, Arlington, Minuteman, Bedford, Carlisle, Westford. I wanted to check out the first phase of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail. Straight, flat, beautifully rural and covered with wet leaves and pine needles... so... good to be on three wheels. Nice path. The BFRT crosses some intersections in Chelmsford. I chose to stick to the path and use the ped signals. Sitting waiting for the "walk" and a pickup truck passes, beeps and I see the distinct silhouette of a bird being chucked in my direction. So I'm like, hey,
"don't hate me because I'm beautiful".
