No bumps today! The intrepid GS and less-intrepid rider went northwest instead of east. Only 53.0 miles but after yesterday's ride in the heat, Friday's late night, and today's heat I'm glad it wasn't any longer. Still, though it ain't my age it is a personal longest distance. Bikinggrrrl, your directions were great. I think going north on West St is the wrong direction, which it to say it is all uphill! On the other hand, it also means going north on South St. And North Rd. goes east-west. Go figure...
Going past the cranberry bog I got behind a farm truck pulling a trailer full of, um, organic, beast-derived fertilizer. He was dropping little bits all over the road. It made for an interesting olfactory experience. Those roads are nice to bike. A bit hilly too, which is what I expected.
There must have been an antique car show on somewhere too. About a dozen brass-era Fords went by heading north out of Concord on Monument Rd. Also saw a Saab Sonnett, a chrome-bumpered Midget, some mid-50's Chevy. Also saw a lot of bikes.
