From there take 126 west and then right onto 27 through Sudbury, branch off and ride through Stow back to 117. 62 through Maynard to Concord center. Refill water bottle then follow Monument st to 225, back towards Concord and eventually home after passing by Walden pond and then the Gropious house.
well 50 being the new 30 wasn't so fun while it lasted. After 5 50 mile after work rides in 2ish weeks I realize why 30 is just fine. It was a bit over-ambitious. Anyhow I think I'll try that once every week or two and stick to a more reasonable 30 mile ride more often. I was on track for hitting 2000 miles by Memorial Day, after a few days of burn out I'm on track to hit 2000 miles in early June.
